Mousehole

Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Mousehole (Porthenys), there are a few things you need to know...

This Trail has not been marked as accessible for wheelchair users or pushchairs due to some steps, hills, uneven surfaces and sections without pavements along the route.

Bring your four-legged friends along - as long as they are kept on leads! Please note that there are two clues in an area where dogs are not permitted, so we could not advise bringing along your pup if you are doing the Trail alone.

The closest pay and display car park to this Trail's start point is located just before The Old Coastguard Hotel (TR19 6PR).

There are some fantastic events in Mousehole's calendar, all of which are great times to visit this beautiful village. However, you may find that some of the clues on this Trail become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions (particularly during the festive period). We recommend checking for events before you set off on your mission.

There are public toilets available at Clue 16 (seasonal) and Clue 21 and a few cafes along the way. The harbour beach makes a fantastic picnic spot at low tide!

Looking for more things to do in Mousehole? Make a day of it and head to a sandy spot with an ice cream for post-mission relaxation or take a peek inside some of the village's independent shops and galleries. You could even unleash your inner detective on the Lands End driving Trail, which starts in the nearby village of Newlyn.
