Description
Mousehole is a historic fishing village and port on the south coast of Cornwall in the United Kingdom. In the 13th century, Mousehole was the main port in Mount's Bay and remained so until the 16th century. Much of Mousehole was destroyed in 1595 during a raid on Mount's Bay by the Spaniard Carlos de Amésquita.
