Absolutely breathtaking. St Michael’s Mount is one of those magical places. Walking the ancient causeway at low tide feels like stepping into a myth. The views are stunning, the gardens are lush, and the castle holds a calm, powerful energy. There’s a deep sense of peace and presence at the top, it’s beautiful. Highly recommend taking your time and really soaking it all in.

A very intriguing place, and yet also stunning. To think that this castle was built nearly 800 years ago and is still standing astounded me. The island itself and the castle have a very calming vibe, and feels like an authentic visit. The castle itself was magnificent, and well worth the time to come here and see. Prices were reasonable, and I was not aware of the fact that you had to pay to enter. Luckily you can also purchase access on the island and on Marazion Beach just before the causeway, with a small queue of a wait of around 5 mins. Still, I would recommend buying online to make the process easier. PS: Weather & visibility permitting, some great shots can be taken from the top of the castle

A great place to visit while in West Cornwall. So beautiful and drenched in history. The only downside was that as the tide was too high to walk across the causeway, I had to get the boat there and back. Shame, but maybe I'll return one day so I can walk across then. Be sure to arrive early if you are getting the boat as I had to wait over 30 minutes in a queue to be able to board.

A wonderful experience, it starts with walking through the sea before exploring the village on the island. Then it's off up to the castle to explore the history of St Michael's mount! A stunning walk around the beautiful gardens before heading back to shore on one of the many boats! A highly recommended visit but be prepared for some climbing!

Wow!! the location and the views of this place are breathtaking ❤️❤️❤️❤️ The path through the sea was stunning with low tides which covers fully under water around 5pm, which makes it more thrilling. Best time to visit on a sunny day is around 12 pm 🕛. Historical castle with fully loaded Garrison and art gallery. Must must visit and make sure you go to the top of the Castle and visit fully inside, which is full of interesting things 👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯

Book in advance. Walk across the causeway during low tide and get the boat during high tide. The mount is very steep on parts and the gardens won't be suitable for wheelchair users and those with walking disabilities. The castle is beautiful but again not suitable for wheelchair chair users and those with walking disabilities. The area around the castle offers great shade and a nice cooling breeze.

A brilliant day out! Wonderful views, plenty of history and a great experience all round. The causeway is a lovely walk and when the tide covers it, a small boat can take you for a few quid. There are plenty of spots to relax with a picnic as well as a few spots to get refreshments and food. Be sure to bring water as the walk up could be challenging for some but there are spots to stop and recharge and the castle and views are worth it, plus you can always enjoy an ice cream at the bottom having earned it

What a phenomenal location, I truly had a blast visiting the mount. It was brilliant weather for the day, but still the sights you get, the history you learn and just how interesting it all is would make it worth it in the wind and rain in my opinion. This was my first national trust sight and still to this day is my favourite one I have visited so far. The garden was also just a lovely visit. My only warning would be that there are a lot of steps to access the main areas, so be warned if that's something that you struggle with.
