Mousehole
tourismSaid to be the most beautiful village in England by Dylan Thomas — who may have been biased by the local beer — Mousehole is a compact granite harbour village of extraordinary charm. Fishermen's cottages tumble down to a harbour sheltered by two great arms of stone, and the village lights every December for the Tom Bawcock's Eve festival.

Newlyn Art Gallery
artsOccupying a handsome Arts and Crafts building at the heart of one of Britain's oldest fishing communities, Newlyn Art Gallery shows ambitious contemporary exhibitions alongside work rooted in the West Cornish tradition. The town itself gave its name to the celebrated Newlyn School of artists who settled here in the 1880s, drawn by the quality of the Atlantic light.

Merry Maidens Stone Circle
historicThe most complete and perfectly circular Bronze Age stone circle in Cornwall, the Merry Maidens stands in a field south of St Buryan with all nineteen stones upright. Local legend holds the stones are girls turned to granite for dancing on the Sabbath. The two outlying standing stones known as The Pipers — the musicians — stand in adjacent fields.

Boscawen-Un Stone Circle
historicA distinguished Bronze Age stone circle south-west of St Buryan, Boscawen-Un has nineteen outer stones and a leaning central pillar of white quartz that makes it instantly distinctive. It was here that the first recorded Gorsedh Kernow — the gathering of Cornish bards — was held in 1928, restoring a tradition that had lapsed for centuries.
