HERITAGE
On a clear day from the terrace at Polvellan Heights, the silhouette of St Michael's Mount is unmistakable - the medieval castle perched atop a rocky island rising dramatically from the middle of Mount's Bay, connected to the mainland by a granite causeway that disappears beneath the sea at high tide. It is one of the most extraordinary and iconic sights in the whole of Britain, and at just four miles from our luxury apartment accommodation in Mousehole, Cornwall, it is also one of the most easily accessible highlights of any stay on this stretch of the Cornish coast.

CULTURE
Carved by hand from the granite clifftop above Porthcurno Bay by the remarkable Rowena Cade and her gardener in the 1930s, the Minack Theatre is one of the most extraordinary and singular performance venues anywhere in Britain. The stone terracing descends in tiers to an open stage poised directly above the Atlantic, with the sea serving as both backdrop and occasional scene-stealer - particularly on summer evenings, when the light turns the water from deep blue to gold as the first act draws to a close. There is genuinely nowhere quite like it, and for guests staying in luxury apartment accommodation in Mousehole, Cornwall, it is just twenty minutes away along quiet Cornish lanes.

HERITAGE
Tucked into a sea cave near the harbour entrance, the legend of the Mousehole Cat has captivated visitors to this tiny Cornish fishing village for generations. The story - immortalised in Antonia Barber's beloved 1990 picture book - tells of Tom, the last fisherman brave enough to venture out into a terrible winter storm, guided safely home by his great striped cat, Mowzer, who sang to calm the raging sea. It is a story of courage, loyalty, and the particular kind of quiet magic that seems to belong to Mousehole more than almost anywhere else.

HISTORY
Mousehole - pronounced 'Mow-zel' by those who know it well - takes its name from a sea cave near the harbour entrance, and its history stretches back to at least the Bronze Age, when the sheltered waters of Mount's Bay made it a natural and well-used landing place on the ancient tin trade routes between Cornwall and the Mediterranean. The harbour, rebuilt in granite in the 14th century, brought centuries of prosperity to what was already one of the most productive and strategically significant fishing ports on the entire Cornish peninsula.
