Mousehole (Cornwall)

Mousehole is a historic fishing village dating back to the 13th century - a market started here in 1292, and it was a popular West Cornwall fishing town...Due to where it is positioned, the seas here were particularly turbulent - which meant that the Mousehole sailors gained quite the reputation for being very tough...There are a few theories about why Mousehole is called Mousehole. Some people say it is due to the tiny, mousehole-shaped harbour, whereas other people claim that there is a formation that looks like a mousehole in the rocks by the beach. Another - and probably the most plausible - theory is that the name derives from the word Moeshayle, which means "young woman´s brook" in Cornish. There is a brook (Bach) in town, so this probably makes the most sense.
