Penlee Lifeboat Memorial Garden

Highlight • Monument

On 19th December 1981 a grave tragedy hit the small village of Mousehole. The Union Star, on its way from The Netherlands to Ireland, was being blown towards the treacherous Cornish coast on an incredibly stormy night.

The Solomon Browne, Penlee's lifeboat, went out to rescue the crew of the Union Star but all attempts failed and the Solomon Browne was lost as well as the Union Star. All eight members of the lifeboat crew died and it is a loss that is still felt very keenly in Mousehole. Everyone in the small community was affected by the disaster.

Mousehole Village and Harbour

Highlight • Settlement

The fishing village of Mousehole has narrow, bustling streets filled with small shops, galleries, restaurants, and cottages built from finely grained Lamorna granite. Dylan Thomas described the village as the loveliest in England — but many Cornish people would dispute that this part of the world can even be classed as England! The village has a thriving art scene as artists come to work amid the picturesque landscape.
