St Michael's Mount
SW 515-298 Cornwall England

St Michael MountSt Michael's Mount is an 11th century stone Benedictine priory and a royal fortress from 1194. Its strong position led to three sieges, all successful but the construction of a 17th century mansion, absorbed the remaining fortified structures. Visit pending. 15 miles north-east is Carn Brea Castle.
