Marazion & St Michael's Mount
Tucked away in the very far corners of South West Cornwall
is the charming little town of Marazion – believed to be Britain's oldest
town. Aside from being steeped in history, and the location of St Michaels
Mount, Marazion is also loved by those interested in hiking, water sports and
bird watching.
Marazion is also a good base to explore Cornwall –
with plenty of affordable accommodation and a fair choice of good eateries,
visitors can experience the true Cornish lifestyle in a comfortable and
beautiful setting.
St Michaels Mount is one of the main attractions in
Cornwall itself, let alone Marazion.
The highlight is the castle which is set
atop the mount on a separate island – it’s possible to walk to the mount
during low tide, but at high tide a ferry ride is required. The castle itself is
quite enchanting and visitors can amble through the many furnished rooms and
drink in the sensational panoramic views on offer.
Marazion as a town is equally charming – with narrow
roads climbing over steep hills, and wonderful shops, pubs and bakeries offering the most wonderful food and drink options.
Marazion also has a lovely sand beach offering
wonderful views of the mount making the town one of the undiscovered gems of
Cornwall.
