An interesting and unique place to visit. Its listed on the World Heritage site. Its currently £14 to visit and have a look inside the castle. Access is by foot when the tide is out by walking across the causeway. When the tide come back in you will have to catch a boat back which will cost extra.

Mousehole is a great place to visit. Its pronounced 'Mouse'll'. Its quaint and beautiful. Its is within walking distance from the property or you can catch a bus from Newlyn. The bus is called 'The Mousehole', the bus runs every 30 mins and can be caught from Newlyn Art gallery (look for the lamp post on the pavement with a bus sign on it) or Newlyn bridge (this bus stop is near the traffic lights opposite the co-op. If you are unsure ask somebody. Mousehole has shops and plenty of places to eat. The beach, while small is good for children to splash about in or you can have a swim in and out of the harbour. If you have a paddle board then its a great place to start from. If you are lucky then you might see some seals near the harbour and on Mousehole Island.

City/town information
St Ives is very well known by visitors, plenty of shops, galleries and bars. Beautiful beaches all within walking distance of the town centre. If you are visiting St Ives then I recommend taking the train from Penzance to St Ives. Get on at Penzance, change at the next stop (St Erth) and jump on the train to St Ives. The St Ives train travels along the cliff and you have great views and takes about 10mins. Its the last stop so you cant miss it.
