St Michael's Mount is a tidal island in Mount’s Bay near Penzance. The island is joined to the town of Marazion by a causeway made of setts, passable between mid-tide and low water. It’s also possible for visitors to reach it in a small boat, when the causeway is covered by the sea.

St Michael’s Mount is managed by the National Trust, and the castle and church have been the home of the St. Aubyn family since about 1640.

The name of the island in Cornish means ‘grey rock in the wood’ in English – a folk memory perhaps of the time before Mount’s Bay was flooded. Traces of ancient trees, uncovered by storms, have been seen at low tide.

According to legend, St Michael’s Mount was the home of a giant. Cormoran used to steal cattle from local farmers. A brave lad called Jack killed Cormoran, winning a reward and the new name of ‘Jack the Giant Killer’.
