Tom Bawcock's Eve, Mousehole

The tradition of Tom Bawcock comes from the feast or famine lifestyle of Cornwall.  The story goes that it was just before Christmas; there had been no fish for weeks, the boats couldn’t get out into the raging storm, the village was starving. One man, Tom Bawcock, dared to take his boat out of the harbour’s safety. He returned with enough fish to make fish pie for the whole village. 

Today, a festival takes place each year to celebrate Tom Bawcock's bravery. During the festival, Star Gazey pies are eaten in memory of this famous event.

Lovely place to stay, our second time here. Peace and quiet here yet within half an hours stroll from St Ives. The train station is less than a 5 minute walk if you want to take it easy £2 return fare, no tying to find a parking space in St Ives. We find Aspect holidays staff very friendly and happy to help, would certainly use them again.
