Mousehole (Cornwall)
Mousehole is a historic fishing village dating back to the 13th century - a market started here in 1292, and it was a popular West Cornwall fishing town...Due to where it is positioned, the seas here were particularly turbulent - which meant that the Mousehole sailors gained quite the reputation for being very tough...There are a few theories about why Mousehole is called Mousehole. Some people say it is due to the tiny, mousehole-shaped harbour, whereas other people claim that there is a formation that looks like a mousehole in the rocks by the beach. Another - and probably the most plausible - theory is that the name derives from the word Moeshayle, which means "young woman´s brook" in Cornish. There is a brook (Bach) in town, so this probably makes the most sense.

Ja, wunderbar, an Mousehole erinnere ich mich gerne, es ist Jahrzehnte her, dass ich dort war, es scheint sich wenig zu verändern!!Grüße Katyjdm-l 03/10/2022 13:52
