About Mousehole / Point Spaniard
Historical/community camping report; current permission is unconfirmed. A small-scale coastal stop outside Mousehole, where stone walls and low fields break up the otherwise open Mount's Bay coastline. The old directory records a discreet wild-pitch anchor tucked behind a wall between Penzer Point and Point Spaniard. The ground is best thought of as coastalfield/wall edge. Mousehole has full village services; the historic anchor itself was informal.
