See visiting traditional sailing craft moored up alongside the 13th century quay.  On Saturday and Sunday there will be sailing races, giving the spectators a chance to see these wonderful boats in full sail, ranging in colour, from the traditional tan sails to the more modern white etc. 

Enjoy the unchanged delights of our narrow street, glimpses of St Michael’s Mount and the reflections in the harbour of the granite and slate roofed cottages.

Absorb the atmosphere of a bygone age and listen to the soft Atlantic swells caressing smugglers’ caves, with evocative names such as Slinky Dean and Dickie Daniel’s Hole.

Admire the views across the beautiful bay and witness firsthand what it was like years ago to see the working sailing boats leaving the harbour.

Learn and discover Mousehole’s past by taking one of the guided walks around the village, visiting the photographic heritage display or viewing the film archive of Mousehole and the fishing industry.
