St Michael's Mount

Still home to the St Aubyn family as well as a small community, this iconic rocky island is crowned by a medieval church and castle - with the oldest buildings dating from the 12th century.

Immerse yourself in history, wonder at the architecture and discover the legend of Jack the Giant Killer.

Look down on the subtropical terraced garden and enjoy the breathtaking views of spectacular Mount's Bay.

If the weather is favourable, take a short evocative boat trip to the island, or at low tide, enjoy the walk across the causeway.

Cork Model

St Michael's Mount is a Cornish icon. It has been an abbey, a fortress and, for 350 years, the family home of the St Aubyns. Henry Lee was the butler on St Michael's Mount for 49 years and made this model in the 1930s. It is carved from champagne corks and took almost 3 years to complete.
