St Michael's Mount

The island world of St Michael’s Mount is one of the jewels in Cornwall’s crown. Hop on a boat – or walk across the causeway during low tide – to a community where modern life meets over a thousand years of history.

Home to the St Aubyn family as well as a small community, this iconic island is crowned by a medieval church and castle – with the oldest buildings dating to the 12th century. Immerse yourself in history, wonder at the architecture and discover the legend of Jack the Giant Killer.

You can also explore the sub-tropical terraced garden and enjoy breath taking views of Mount’s Bay.

Please visit the St Michael’s Mount website for the most up-to-date information, opening days and times and to book tickets to visit the castle and the garden.

Please note: National Trust members need to pre-book tickets on the St Michael's Mount website.
