St Michael's Mount (Cornish [UCR]: To Garrek Los y'n Cos) is a tidal island on the southwestern tip of England, 366 m from the village of Marazion in Cornwall and has an area of 0.23 km ². It can be reached either by ferry or, at low tide, via a narrow dam from Marazion.

The site is similar to the Mont Saint-Michel in northern France, but less well known. St. Michael's Mount therefore has a lower tourist volume and therefore not the corresponding problems of his "big brother".

St. Michael's Mount to the sunrise
The chapel on the hill was built in the 15th century and, like the castle, is privately run but can be visited. The noble family Baron St. Levan, descended from St. Aubyns, left the estate to the National Trust in 1954. Descendants of the family still live on the island today. A small harbor has also existed since the late Middle Ages and is now used for the tourist ferries.

On the island or the mountain are next to a subtropical garden, a few other houses and facilities mainly religious character. Like its French equivalent, St. Michael's Mount has long been a place of pilgrimage and enjoys religious worship in its circles.
