St Michael's Mount, Cornwall Since being a child, I have visited St Michael's Mount many times. Every summer my family and I would pack up our things and journey down to Cornwall with sun, sea and ice cream in mind. Driving past St Michael's Mount always felt quite magical and special. A short distance from land a beautiful castle lies on its own island, a castle that you can in fact walk to but only when the tide is out. I was fascinated by this concept when I was younger and it is why St Michael's Mount has made such an impression on my memory.

We have just returned from a fantastic long weekend in Cornwall. We had so many things we wanted to do whilst visiting so we had to really narrow our list down as we were only there 4 days. One of the things my fiancé wanted to do was go back to St Michaels Mount. We did visit last year but we did not go into the castle as we were short of time, however this year he insisted we went inside and I'm glad he did. St Michaels Mount is an island set off the coast of Cornwall, near to the village of Marazion which is on the mainland.

St. Michaels Mount. St Michaels mount can be found just off the coast on the South coast of Cornwall near the town of Marazion. It is easily reached by road namely the A30 and from all directions in Cornwall.

It was apparently at one time joined with the mainland but that was put paid by an extremely high tide which apparently caused the deaths of many people and left the mount as an ...  Read the complete review

Saint Michaels Mount is the most famous landmark in Cornwall. It is a small craggy island situated 500 yards offshore and can be visited by causeway at low tide or at high tide there is a boat that will take you across from mounts harbour for a small fee. The mount features a medieval castle built in the fifteenth century to fight off attack from French pirates, a church and beautiful gardens and is still a lovely living and working community today. The mounts claim to fame is that in 1587 a beacon signal on the mount was lit to warn the rest of the country that the Spanish armada was fast approaching. I have been to Cornwall many times and always visit St Michaels ...  Read the complete review
