What travellers say about St Ives

M49***481 September 2025
5.0
Review of St. Michael's Mount, Cornwall St. Michael's Mount is Cornwall's most magical tidal island. At low tide, a cobblestone path emerges, connecting the mainland to this medieval castle (at high tide, it hangs isolated offshore). The 12th-century castle on the island blends Norman and Victorian styles, housing antique armor and coastal defense batteries. Its rooftop offers stunning views of Mounts Bay. Lush subtropical gardens and the remains of the legendary giant Cormoran add to the mystical atmosphere. The best experience is to check the tides before walking to the island (or taking a boat). At sunset, the castle and the sunset glow reflected on the sea create a picturesque scene. Wear non-slip shoes. Nearby, explore the artistic town of St. Ives. Half natural wonder, half historical treasure, this is truly England's most romantic maritime secret!
