The small village of Mousehole (pronounced "Mouzel"!) is situated on the edge of Mount's Bay. Fishing boats lie in the small harbour and it is recommended that the car is left in the car park at the entrance to the village and that you walk around. Just before you get to the village along the road from Newlyn is the old Penlee lifeboat station. It was from here in 1981 that the lifeboat "Solomon Brown" went to the aid of the vessel "Union Star" after its engines failed in heavy seas. After the lifeboat had rescued four people, both vessels were lost with all hands; in all, sixteen people died including eight volunteer lifeboatmen. All of the lifeboatmen came from Mousehole and their loss is still commemorated to this day by the switching off of the well known harbour Christmas lights for an hour on Christmas Eve every year.

Trencrom Hill is on Age hill fort, maintained by the National Trust. It is worth either a scramble (on the steep side) or a stroll up the easy side! From the top you can see both St Ives Bay and Mount's Bay and much of the countryside of West Cornwall. It is about a ten or fifteen minute drive from Heather Lane. Take the St Ives exit from the big roundabout before the Hayle bypass and at the bottom of the first hill bear left at the two mini roundabouts. You will then be on the Old Coach Road to St Ives. Watch for a turning on the left to "Trencrom" and continue to the base of the hill where you will find a very small car park at the bottom of the steep climb. To find the "easy" side carry on along the road, bearing right until you come to a small narrow car park on the right.

Chysauster is one of the best-preserved ancient villages in Britain. A close-knit community lived and worked here between the late 1st century and the end of the 3rd century AD, a time when much of Britain was under Roman rule. The villagers lived in stone-walled houses, each with a number of rooms arranged round a courtyard – a unique house layout found only in late Iron Age and Romano-British settlements in western Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
There are approximately 15 unmarked spaces in the free site car park, which is located 1/4 mile downhill from the shop entrance and roughly 1/2 mile from the main site. Visitors will need cross a "C" road on foot after parking.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE VILLAGE IS CLOSED FROM NOVEMBER UNTIL THE END OF MARCH
