The Magical Beauty of St. Michael's Mount

They say: 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.

I say: It's the most beautiful family day out in Cornwall... guaranteed! Never been? Come with us and have a look around....

If the tide is out, you can walk across the causeway to St Michael's Mount. If not, you're going on the boat (or swimming). Tip: Wear sensible footwear (not something I would ever usually advise, but trust me on this one).

Is there anything in this world prettier than the sunlight sparkling on the sea water?

Join the queue. (The boats are pretty quick zipping to and from the Mount).

The boat journey only takes a few minutes and is really fun, despite Millie's face suggesting otherwise.

Beautiful original wall mural on the outer castle walls.

You can't really miss this photo opportunity (it's an Instagrammer's dream).

Time to bomb the enemy.

Running around on the castle rooftop pretending to be a real-life Sofia the First is the best fun ever.

It's just a shame all those pesky tourists get in the way and ruin the illusion.

It's a looooong way down....

So if you live in a castle on an island, you have to have your own church. Obvs.

St. Michael, I assume.

One of the rare occasions that I have found Amelia speechless! She sat here for about ten minutes just gazing down at the sea.

Hi handsome ;-) I have no idea who this guy was, but I imagine he was quite the rake.

It all ends with ice cream. :-)
