Walked across to the island as the tide was out, stunning views over Penzance and countryside, lovely gardens and interesting main house/castle. Nice morning out for £7.50 each not for those with walking difficulties, loads of uneven steps up to the house, may be best to go by boat when the tide is in. More

Other than the lovely castle, the beautiful gardens at St. Michael's Mount is worth a visit. View from the Mount is excellent. More

Well worth a visit, one of the Brittan’s premier attractions loads of history and so well run, I met a member of staff who showed me the St Michael’s Mount State Barge, built in 1740 also the oldest boat in commission in Britain. And, for the hat-trick, it could well be the oldest boat still afloat and in use in... More

This family owned stately home, run by the national trust is a great place to spend a half day. From the boat journey across the harbour (the tide was in for our visit) to the island is great, then the steep climb through the gardens to the top. To find a pretty stately home/castle. We had free entry due to... More

We saw Mont St Michel a few years ago, and this was just as gorgeous, but on a smaller scale, I LOVED it! More

We tend to go here once a year. It really is a stunning piece of Britain. The walk across is lovely. Weve never got the boat, we like to wait for the tide to go out and make our own way there and back. The walk to the castle is abit daunting. But, trust me..Im not fit at all and... More

We wanted to walk over there, but when we came there it was flood so we had to go by boat. We climbed the stairs and it was really beautiful.We had a guided tour through the castle and then went back. What a place! More
