Is it worth visiting Mousehole, Cornwall A NOSTALGIC short walk.

[@peterdovey5182]

The work and effort that you two put in each week , to bring us our fix of Cornwall, is to be commended. Many thanks.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Thank you! Sarah :)

Well done Sarah and Andrew, another lovely video showing the beauty of Cornwall. My wife and I visited Mousehole in 1982 and remember the bus we travelled on from Penzance trying to get back out of Mousehole being held up by tourist cars, the bus driver just pulled on his hand brake and said sort yourselves out, because he could not reverse back down the hill. As I remember you could hardly get a cigarette paper between the buses wing mirrors and the houses. We also walked to Lamorna and both being fair skin got sun burnt on one side of our faces only, had some scrumpy in the Lamorna Wink pub and got the bus back to Penzance, happy days.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Wonderful memory and sensible bus driver! I think the visitors have trouble grasping that the traffic moves in both directions and its not a single track road! And cars are getting so wide these days - fine for motorways but not right for down 'ere! Sarah :)

Lovely video of Mousehole, my favourite of all of Cornwall's quaint fishing villages. I discovered "Nigel" many years ago, weirdest name for a house! In 1973 I spent my summer vacation as a student sleeping rough in West Penwith and exploring the area. My favourite place to sleep was a granite rock a few hundred yards to the west of Mousehole near the big cave which possibly gave Mousehole its name. (It used to be called "The Mousehole" on OS maps).

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Interesting! I think we must return to Mousehole someday to find the cave! Sarah :)

Thanks both for another lovely video. Totally fascinated by the Cornish history that you add in too. Would be great if you could add in any cafes and pubs you go to on your walks that cater well for gluten free. Our daughter is gluten intolerant and gets incredibly frustrated at all the Cornish yumminess that she can’t have too!

[@SpanishEclectic]

Super fun meander with you two! What a charming town, with all of the itty-bitty lanes, stone cottages, surprise pocket gardens, legends, and interesting history. It looks like the ancient harbor wall with the wood slats would go a long way to protecting the boats during storms. Loved the great tidbits about the Spanish attack, the swords in the church, and the fascinating Dolly. I learn so much on every walk. I ended up with nettles in my garden (they came with a truckload of free horse manure from a relative's farm). I've been stung through gloves, so I don't blame you for retreating from the field walk. Maybe you can try again in fall or winter. As far as I'm concerned, ice cream is a good balm for many an ill. Cheers! :)

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Oh yes! We will return to find the elusive path. In fact this is the second year we have tried and failed! Sarah :)

Hi Sarah and Andrew, that was a really lovely video today of Mousehole ("Mowzel") Although we have been there many times before, we never get to see some of the interesting places which you find for us, thank you. Keep up the good work. Just one incident which was a bit upsetting @2:38 a lady hauling her little dog high up over the step of the restaurant by its collar, poor little thing. 😥

What a beautiful colourful quaint village with lots of history, it has always intrigued me as to know how Mousehole got its name! some good theories, I agree with Andrew rabbits and pasties 🥴 my reaction to the stargazy pie was much the same🥴 good old Dolly sounds like a friend you would want to keep! I’m pleased I didn’t have to pass my driving test in ‘Mousehole’ Nottingham was barely big enough! saying that I gave up driving this year after sixty five years without a scratch 😇 thanks 🙏 Sarah & Andrew for another amusing tour 🤗 I will be watching it again later, as I would like to take in more of that wonderful church and it’s interesting past history👍

Believe me, you don't have to be a fisherman to hear the cussing and cursing skills down here in Kent....say no more....Lovely story of Dolly Pentreath and well done for standing up straight (hic!) on the stroll afterwards!
