St Michael's MountSt Michael’s Mount is a majestic Penzance attraction, and the historic island sits out at sea just 3 miles from the town. Connected to Marazion by a cobbled causeway, St Michael’s Mount is home to a fascinating village with a history spanning 1000 years, that visitors of all ages will have a great day discovering. A foreboding medieval castle peers sternly down on sub-tropical landscapes that were once trodden by the pilgrims who flocked to the mythical island. If you fancy viewing the mythical island from the water, there are boat trips available, and what better end to the visit then to sample Cornish produce in one of the island’s traditional eateries before you go?
