St Michael’s Mount

Explore the amazing island world of St Michael’s Mount and discover legend, myth and over a thousand years of incredible history.

At low tide, stroll across the causeway where a legendary giant once walked. Follow the footsteps of pilgrims. Discover a medieval castle, a sub-tropical paradise and a close-knit island community.

Delve into the history of a fortress, a priory, a harbour and a home to the St Aubyn family and thirty islanders.
Arrive from the mainland on foot or by boat and get up close to this very special castle that stands proud in Mount’s Bay.

Come ashore for a family outing, take a tour of the castle or a garden visit. Scale the fairytale turrets for amazing views. Tuck into fresh local food in the Island Café or the Sail Loft Restaurant

Park in the pretty village of Marazion and, if the tide is out, walk across the causeway to St Michaels Mount. At high tide you can hop on one of the many motor boats that go back and forth from the mainland.

Discover the medieval castle and sub-tropical gardens in a truly unique setting.
