2024 Saint Michael's Mount Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in September)

A Glimps in time to English histroy

St Michael’s Mount is a tidal island joined to the mainland by a cobbled causeway. People come from across the globe come for its rich history, natural beauty, subtropical gardens and, of course, iconic castle. Access to the island is ruled by the tides. This means getting across and back is an experience in itself. You may find yourself gliding into the historic harbour on a small ferryboat. Then returning to shore across the ancient causeway, the sea lapping at its edges. [Explore an ancient castle] With sweeping views from the defensive battlements of this magnificent castle, where rows of cannons stare out to Mount’s Bay below. Inside, walk through a labyrinth of corridors to see how occupants lived, ate, prayed and did battle over the centuries. [Step into the past] History comes in waves here. Henry de la Pomeroy seized and fortified the Mount in 1193. Soldiers fired cannons at Napoleonic ships. [Soak up the subtropical gardens] Built in 1887, the Garden Terraces at the rear of the castle. Agave, cacti, aloe and many more subtropical species cling to the granite on a patchwork of meticulous terraces. Look up and you’ll also enjoy one of the most spectacular views of the castle, which rises out of the cliff face above you. This is for sure a must see attraction in Cornwall, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #Cornwall #England
