Cheerful colours of a Cornwall classic. St Michael's Mount in Cornwall

Take a journey through steep, uneven paths on this ancient and picturesque island. Located in Mount's Bay, Cornwall, and connected to the town of Marazion by a causeway of granite block, St Michael's Mount is capped with a mediaeval church, an ancient castle and a terraced garden.

Spiritual seekers believe the island holds a unique energy owing to its age-old ley lines that intersect at the heart of the Mount and run under the sea. The island is rich in history, with the oldest building dating back to the 12th century. The St Aubyn family works to preserve the rich heritage here along with the National Trust.
