There are few places in England quite like Land's End. The most westerly point on the British mainland, this dramatic granite headland is where the Atlantic finally meets the cliffs of West Cornwall in a spectacle that never quite loses its power - no matter how many times you've seen it, or what the weather is doing when you arrive.

Cornwall's most southerly harbour town, Porthleven is a beautiful, unhurried place that has quietly become one of the most talked-about destinations on the peninsula - and one that richly deserves the attention. A working harbour, a long south-facing beach, outstanding food, and some of the finest surf on the Cornish coast all combine to make it a genuinely compelling full afternoon and evening out.

Tucked right on the harbour front, 2 Fore Street is one of Mousehole's best-kept secrets - and a genuinely special place to eat. This small, intimate bistro brings a quiet French influence to the Cornish coast, with a beautiful walled garden that opens on fine days to let in the salt air and the sunshine.

Tales, tips and inspiration from Cornwall's most enchanting coast.
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.

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.
