Pronounced "Mowzel"

 

Somewhat between Penzance and Land's End is a village hailed as England's prettiest. So we thought we'd check it out.

All the winding little streets in Mousehole are full of flowers and there are little shops and galleries hidden all over the place. Best not to bring a car into the village. Parking is provided on the outskirts and the streets are way to winding and narrow for more than one vehicle.

The village is quite old and there are a lot of old buildings and history here

You can see St. Michael's Mount from the coastal village. And yes, that is Penzance in the distance.

The houses are right next to the harbour and though it looks like they have no front garden, to the right is a patch of land on the cliff that has little front garden size plots with the owner's patio chairs and what have you in each. You must cross the street apparently to get to your front garden!! laugh.gif

We were just in Scotland, and these pics make me want to go back already. I'll have to get some of mine up on photobucket.
