SW 515-298 Cornwall England
St
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.
St Michael's Mount is located on an island and is accessed by a causeway or ferry boats at high tide. 21 miles west of Falmouth, on the A39-A394.
The site is owned by The National Trust and is open, Sunday to Friday 26th March to October 10:30-5:30pm. Open when tides and weather favourable, November to March.
There is a car park on the mainland, adjacent to the island.
For admission rates and special events go to its HomePage.
