Once the home of poet and playwright Dylan Thomas, he described it as ‘the loveliest village in England’. The first records of the village are from 1267.
Pronounced Mowzul.
Whilst it can be agreed on how to say Mousehole, the origins of the name are somewhat less clear. One possible source is the large sea cave just beyond the village where smugglers are once reputed to have stashed there contraband. Another possibility is the name is derived from the Cornish word ‘moeshayle’ which has something to do with rivers and maidens. A further suggestion is that it is taken from the appearance of the original diminutive harbour. So pick your choice, but it is beautiful.
