From here is a great view of St Michael's Mount, a tidal island that is home to a castle and a church. Access to the island is possible by foot across a causeway at low to mid tide.

Looked after by the National Trust, you can visit St Michael's Mount, which is still home to a community of people, cut off from the mainland at every high tide. See their website for further details nationaltrust.org.uk/st-michaels-mount

The site is historically linked to Mont St Michael in Normandy, which is a very similar tidal island.

Along the "Mount's Bay cycle route" you cycle traffic-free for more than 3 kilometers with a view of the sea and St Michael's Mount in the distance.

If asked where a famous island was dedicated to the Holy Archangel Michael, most people would probably answer the internationally famous UNESCO World Heritage Site "Mont Saint Michel" in France, located off the coast of the English Channel on the border between Normandy and Brittany. But a "St. Michael's Mount" can also be found in the southwest of England - beyond the European mainland, off the British Isles.
