St Michael’s Mount is a spectacular place to visit.  It is situated on an island and can be accessed from the mainland by a Causeway.

The Causeway is under water for parts of the day, so you have to be aware of the tide times.  But it is exciting watching the waves part and seeing the brick causeway reveal itself.  

The island has been the site of not just the castle but also a church and some beautiful gardens.  People say that the island is where many leylines converge to meet where the church is.  This just adds to the mystery and history of the place.

Legend says that it was built by Jack the Giant Killer, who killed the monstrous Cormoran.

Those who go to the terraces of the castle are treated to spectacular views down the coastline and across to Penzance.

I would seriously recommend going. It’s a stunning place to visit with loads of history.
