This traditional county pub has a lovely interior and low beams. Food is locally sourced and seasonal with daily specials available. Regular barbecues take place so call in on a summer evening and enjoy warm weather in the garden.
The path runs along the coast on the eastern side of Mount's Bay. Pass the jagged rocks of Cudden Point to Prussia Cove, famous for its rock pools and caves as well as the smuggler John Carter, whose obsession with Frederick the Great, the King of Prussia, led to the naming of the area. Heading west will take you to Marazion.
Welcome to this traditional Cornish pub with outdoor seating and open fires in winter. Locals use the pub as a micro library so you can enjoy a beer and book at the same time. Dogs are welcome.
Take the South West Coast Path from Mousehole harbour to the lovely cove at Lamorna. Follow the coast path signs with the sea on your left. The path hugs the coast, with opportunities for bird watching and terraces can still be seen where early daffodils were once grown for the London market. Go in April to see wild daffodils in flower. You can return by the same route or follow the signs inland from Lamorna harbour which will bring you back into Mousehole behind the bird hospital and down the hill back to the harbour.
Set above the sea with a palm lined garden running down to the rocks, this is the perfect place to enjoy the creations of Head Chef Matthew Smith. The menu is created using locally sourced produce and guests are welcome to dine on the terrace in fine weather or inside on the Upper Deck. An open fire will keep you toasty during autumn and winter.
Chic and stylish, 2 Fore Street is a French bistro-style restaurant. Sitting on Mousehole harbour-front it has views across Mount's Bay as far as Lizard point. The menu makes the most of fresh local produce with classic old fashioned fish and chips, homemade burgers with Cornish Blue cheese, locally caught mackerel smoked in-house, simple salads and toasted homemade bread. After your meal, you can relax in the beautiful secluded garden.
The quiet, unassuming sister of St Ives, Carbis Bay is only one mile west from its famous neighbour and overlooks the bay to the iconic lighthouse just off-shore at Godrevy Point, four miles further west across the golden sands of the Towans. Carbis Bay is a lot quieter all year round and boasts three of the finest sandy beaches in the area, Carbis Bay beach, Porthkidney Sands and Hawkes Point, perfect for families and couples. Or if you want to sample the delights of St Ives it delivers the best route in. Leave your car behind and catch the train or stroll along the coast path, you will not be disappointed as you round the final corner.
Winner of the Gold award for Pub of the Year in the Cornwall Tourism Awards 2009. Great food and you will need to book.
This local landmark looks like something straight out of a fairytale; a medieval castle perched on top of a little tidal island, complete with cobbled streets and even its own harbour and gardens. At low tide, 'the Mount' can easily be reached on foot from Marazion town by way of a man-made granite causeway. Wait for high tide to take the lazy option and go by ferry. If you've got time to kill while you wait, you can enjoy the view across Mount's Bay with a pint in hand at The Godolphin Arms near the ferry departure point.
Perfect for a snack before or after following in the pilgrim's footsteps to St Michael's Mount.
A few years ago, the Classic Cottages team started writing about where we live and why we love it. Over time these have evolved into the Classic Guide.
