Mousehole to St Michael's Mount
My first day at Dolphin Rise, Mousehole, I woke to the amazing sea views stretching across to St. Michael’s Mount. It only seemed fit to walk around the South West Coast Path to have a closer look.
Mousehole, at the far end of Cornwall, is a picturesque fishing village with narrow streets, colourful houses, and safe harbour for small boats. Following the coastal path onto the larger town of Newlyn.
Newlyn is a busy fishing port, with lines of trawlers moored up along the quay. This leads on into Penzance, one of the largest towns in Cornwall with a mainline train link into London. Then curving around the bay onto Marazion, overlooking Mount’s Bay.
It’s from here you can reach St. Michael's Mount, a tidal island crowned by a medieval castle and gardens. Depending on the tide, you can either walk across the causeway or take a boat to the island. The boats weren’t running in February, but the tide was low and many people were paddling across to the Island. It was late. I had a paddle from the beach and enjoyed watching the skill of the kite boarder in the sunlight.

Drying my feet with my Wash & Dry PACMAT towel.
Finally making back along the sea front promenade. It was busy with people out for a run or a cycle after work.
