Review:
St Michael’s Mount is a lovely tidal island in Mount's Bay, home to the town of Marazion, which is connected to the mainland via a manmade granite setts causeway that is passable at certain tide conditions. The mount is managed by England's National Trust and is best known as the home of the St. Aubyn family since the 17th century. It was originally intended as the Cornish counterpart to Normandy, France's Mont Saint-Michel and was operated by the Benedictine religious order for centuries, beginning in the 11th century. Today, it is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and is home to the beautiful 15th-century Chapel of St. Michael. Visitors can view sites that were showcased in major feature films such as Dracula and Never Say Never Again and can enjoy excellent opportunities to sample delicious Cornish pastries, handpicked crab entrees, and local cheeses at regional restaurants.
