This article has been rated as Mid-importance on the project's importance scale.

See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines:

Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

Mousehole is also the name of a device created by mice for hiding in; some should Start an article called mouse hole for the device. --SuperDude 02:02, 11 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

A Mousehole is also the storage area for the next drill pipe in the drill string on drilling rigs. Magicwombat 22:59, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So, I'm Starting a page called Mousehole (Drilling) Magicwombat 23:08, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Mousehole is often considered to be Llareggub in Under Milk Wood[citation needed]."

Surely Newquay in South Wales is considered by almost all Thomas experts to have the right to claim to be Llareggub?Serpren (talk) 18:29, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See Laugharne.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 09:49, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The correct form of the name of the place in South Wales thought to be the inspiration for Llaregubb is `New Quay'(2 words, not `Newquay (1 word). Barney Bruchstein (talk) 20:17, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fishing trade[edit]

Much more informaation on the fishing trade would be useful here.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 09:49, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Lobster Pot[edit]

My late aunt used to work at The Lobster Pot. I'm sure I can find some old photos (freely licensed of course) of the place if it would enhance the article. Astronaut

Distance of St Clement's Isle from the harbour entrance and its display.[edit]

On checking the distance of the Isle from Mousehole Harbour by Google Maps the distance appeared to be about 350 metres. Could someone who has access to the ordnance survey map please double check the distance and adjust if necessary? Also would there be any objection if I removed the flipping of the display so that the metres came first as per MOSNUM? Michael Glass (talk) 23:42, 24 October 2016 (UTC) Flipping removed as per proposal. Michael Glass (talk) 12:59, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Derivation of the Placename[edit]

Surely a glaring omission is an account of the meaning and origin of the village's name. For, whatever its actual pronunciation, I'm certain it is routinely pronounced as spelt, by outsiders, tourists and the casually curious who encounter the placename with delight while their eye roves the coastal map.

Second homes & luxury apartments[edit]

I've removed the claims about second home ownership, which had been tagged as unsourced for over seven years. While it's probably true (in common with many rural areas, including my own), the statements were vague and slightly inflammatory. The article might benefit from a section about how second home ownership has affected the demography and local economy, with some statistics, but thinly-veiled gripes about "outsiders" pushing out "locals" don't really have a place in Wikipedia ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 15:36, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

spanish going into Mousehole.[edit]

I took a picture of the plaque that is mentioned. Would that satisfy the citation needed? AndresMP.wiki (talk) 01:54, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
