Little village on the south west of England. The road around the village are so tight against the old buildings that it literally feels like you have entered a mouse hole. It eventually opens up to this amazing fishing village cove. Fantastic chance discovery not well known.
Another gem from Mousehole harbour. If you zoom in and squint and use your imagination you can see St. Michael's Mount across the bay.
