Tips

Hiking

St Michael’s Mount is a great place to visit on a trip to Cornwall. Just be aware that the entry cost is a rather steep at £10 per person and if you head across right as the tide clears, you’ll be one of hundreds wanting to buy a ticket. Therefore, I’d recommend heading either a couple of hours after the announced low-tide time, or getting there early and being the first in line as the tide recedes. We didn’t go in on our visit because of the queue. Parking in Marazion costs £4.50 for a full day.

Hiking

A visit to St Michael's Mount is well worth it, even if the entrance fee is a hefty £26.00 for the castle and gardens (2023). You have to make the necessary time for it. Avoid the weekends because then it is very busy!
