What is it? - St. Michael's Mount is one of Penwith's most cherished sights, and one of the most photographed places in England. The island is set a few hundred yards from the shore at Marazion and is only accessible by foot at mid to low tide. Set atop the island is the Castle, overlooking the whole of Mounts Bay and the Lizard. The building is maintained by the National Trust, but has been the home of the St Aubyn family for centuries.
