St. Michael 's Mount ( Cornish [ UCR ] ): An garrek Los y'n Cos ) is a tidal island on the southwestern tip of England, which is located 366 m before the village of Marazion in Cornwall and has an area of 0.23 km ². It can be reached either by ferry or, at low tide, via a narrow causeway from Marazion.

The attraction is similar to the Mont Saint -Michel in northern France, however, is less well known. St. Michael 's Mount has therefore a lower tourism revenues and thus there is no corresponding problems of his " big brother".

The Chapel on the Hill was built in the 15th century and is now privately owned, but can be visited. Lord St Levan, a descendant of the St. Aubyns who lives here today, has the property bequeathed to the National Trust in 1964. A small port is also from the late Middle Ages and is now used to create the tourist ferries.

On the island or the mountain some more houses and facilities are located next to a subtropical garden still primarily religious character. Like his French counterpart is St. Michael 's Mount for a long time been a place of pilgrimage and enjoys in appropriate circles religious- cultic worship.
