Get in
First reach Penzance by air, train, coach or car. Then continue:
by bus: First Kernow bus M6 runs from Penzance bus & railway station every 30 mins via Newlyn, taking 20 mins to Mousehole.
by car: stay on A30 to bypass Penzance, turn left onto B3315 through Newlyn then onto Mousehole Lane. Use the car park just before the Old Coastguard Hotel and don't try to scrape through the narrow lanes down to the harbour.
on foot: about 3 miles (5 km) walk from Penzance, follow the promenade to Newlyn then a new foot/cycle path hugs the coast.
