St Michael's Mount

St Michael’s Mount is a magical tidal island in Cornwall where history and nature blend beautifully. You can reach it by walking across a causeway at low tide or by a charming boat ride during high tide. The island is home to a stunning medieval castle and Norman church that have stood since the 12th century, still inhabited by the St Aubyn family. Wander through the narrow streets of the little village, explore the richly detailed castle rooms, and discover the fascinating legends surrounding the Mount. Meanwhile, the lush sub-tropical terraced gardens clinging to the granite cliffs offer a surprising splash of colour and calm, plus breathtaking views right across Mount’s Bay.

Ideal for families, history buffs, garden lovers, or anyone looking for a proper Cornish adventure, St Michael’s Mount promises a day steeped in charm and wonder. You might start with an invigorating walk or a scenic ferry trip, then lose yourself in stories of giants and medieval life, before lingering over a cream tea or local ice cream at the island café. Whether it’s a breezy summer outing or an atmospheric winter visit, this iconic island offers something special at every turn — a genuine slice of Cornwall’s coastal magic.
