Mousehole Harbour
Mousehole Harbour is the heart of the village and one of the most photographed places in Cornwall. Protected by sturdy harbour walls and surrounded by granite cottages, it has been a working fishing port for centuries and keeps much of its historic character. Watch the fishing boats come in, or relax by the water – at low tide the little sandy harbour beach is a popular spot. The harbour front has independent shops, galleries and seafood restaurants serving fresh Cornish fish, and it's especially magical in the evening when the harbour lights reflect across Mounts Bay.
Coastal walks from the cottage
Trevean Cottage is ideally placed for the South West Coast Path, one of the UK's most spectacular walking routes, with cliff-top scenery, hidden coves and wildlife along the way. One of the most popular walks leads west from Mousehole to Lamorna Cove along rugged granite cliffs, with wonderful views across Mounts Bay. Another route heads east to Newlyn and Penzance, with seafront promenades, historic harbours and easy access to St Michael's Mount.
St Michael's Mount
Visible from Trevean Cottage across Mounts Bay, St Michael's Mount is one of Cornwall's most iconic landmarks – a tidal island with a medieval castle, subtropical gardens and a picturesque harbour, cared for by the National Trust. At low tide you can walk across the ancient causeway from Marazion; at high tide small ferry boats carry visitors across the bay. Marazion Beach is right beside the causeway.
Penzance, Newlyn & Land's End
Nearby Penzance has shopping, restaurants, galleries and a scenic promenade overlooking Mounts Bay. Newlyn is one of the UK's busiest fishing ports, known for its thriving arts scene and excellent seafood. Further west, explore Land's End and Sennen Cove and the Minack Theatre, the extraordinary open-air theatre carved into the cliffs above the Atlantic at Porthcurno. St Ives is also an easy drive away.
