Since the lighthouse is associated with the literary work of Virginia Woolf: Tilman Spengler is the man on German television who brings great authors and their works closer to culturally interested viewers. His series "Classics of World Literature" pays tribute to writers from all eras with a 15-minute episode (in German). One of these writers is Virginia Woolf (1882–1941). The segment can be found in the ARD Mediathek (ARD Media Library) at the following link: https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/klassiker-der-weltliteratur/virginia-woolf/ard-alpha/Y3JpZDovL2JyLmRlL3ZpZGVvLzkxODAyOWQ5LTZjOGUtNDEwYi1iODgyLTUwNzNlNTM3MWJiZA

An area to the east of Loe Pool has been cleared for the reintroduction of Riempjes, a plant belonging to the carnation family (Corrigiola litoralis), which was identified by Natural England in 2020 as being at high risk of extinction. The plant was first sighted on the beach near the tin mine at Helston in 1800. By 1908 it was becoming rarer and was last recorded here in 1915. Its loss was believed to have been caused by a lack of fluctuating water levels following work on the outflow from the lake. By the 20th century beltwort in the UK grew only in Slapton Ley in south Devon. Seed was raised at Paignton Zoo, Devon by the Whitley Wildlife Conservation Trust (WWCT), and in May 2015 over 1,000 seedlings were planted at the eastern end of Loe Pool. (Wikipedia)

A visit to St Michael's Mount is well worth it, even if the entrance fee is a hefty £26.00 for the castle and gardens (2023). You have to make the necessary time for it. Avoid the weekends because then it is very busy!

The harbor at St Michael's Mount can only be used at high tide.

Overlooking Porthmeor Beach, Man's Head is exactly what it suggests, a rock which looks like a person's head, especially if you're on the seaward side.
