St Michael's Mount (Cornish: Karrek Loos yn Koos, meaning "hoar rock in woodland")
St Michael’s Mount medieval castle and the medieval Priory Church is owned by The National Trust. It dates back to the 12th Century, although there are traces of both Bronze and Iron Age occupation have been found, and the Mount is probably the island of Ictis from which tin was exported to the Mediterranean in the C4 BC. It truly is a fairy-tale island and castle which is a Grade I Listed Building. The mount is connected to the sandy beaches of Marazion by a winding causeway, covered for most of the day by the tides. Part of the island was designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in 1995 for its geology.
The Priory Church (The Church Of St Michael) which is also a Grade I Listed Building, stands strong and serene as it has done through the ages, is on the Mount's summit dates back to the 12th Century and is still in regular use to this day.
