Historic Cornish Castles

St Michael’s Mount, Marazion

Magical rocky island crowned by medieval castle and church. A national treasure not to be missed – ancient, romantic and breathtakingly beautiful. Follow in the steps of pilgrims, mariners, even giants, to discover the legends and the real stories of the Mount. Part Benedictine priory, part embattled castle and still the home of the St Aubyn family. Walk the causeway at low water, or take a ferry when the tide comes in, either way it's an adventure. Harbour village features shops, cafe and the Sail Loft Restaurant

Cornwall resisted invasion much better that other areas of  Britain largely because of it’s geography.  Fortified structures are a reminder of those times.
