Marazion & St Michaels Mount

Tucked away in the extreme corner of South West Cornwall is the charming little town of Marazion – believed to be Britains 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 a good base to explore Cornwall – with plenty of affordable accommodation and a fair choice of good restaraunts and cafes, 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 take in the sensational panoramic views over the sea.

Marazion as a town is equally charming – with narrow roads climbing over steep hills, and wonderful shops, pubs and bakeries offering the great 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!
