St Michaels Mount
Known locally as simply ‘The Mount”, this small tidal island has long captured the imaginations of visitors. Linked to the town of Marazion by a man made causeway of granite setts, even getting to the island can be an adventure at low tide.
The island is crowned by a medieval church and castle dating back to the 12th Century and as you gaze at it from across the causeway its not hard to imagine yourself in that era, about to embark on a journey across the treacherous path to seek adventure on this mysterious land.
Exploring the Island small lanes and 12th century architecture really does allow you to immerse yourself in the islands history, including the legend of jack the giant killer.
From the top of the island you have a breathtaking view of the surrounding bay and can look down on the brilliant subtropical terraced garden.
St Michaels Mount is a truly fascinating and unique place, and we urge you to visit!
