West Cornwall Travelog - the first time we stayed in Mousehole we stayed in a lovely little cottage called 'Tara'. It was owned by Mr Harvey, who lived next door. He was a retired fisherman who wore a very jaunty cap. His Cornish accent was so thick that we had to listen to him very carefully so that we could understand what he was saying. He told us to visit the 'Merry Maidens' so we did. It is a really interesting place, set in a field just off the road, near to Lamorna. It's like a mini Stonehenge with its circle of standing stones. The guidebooks say that the stones are girls who were turned to stone for dancing on the Sabbath. Maybe. Definitely worth a look, especially when there is a bit of mist around; spooky.
