Not to be confused with the Mont Saint-Michel in France, St. Michael's Mount has a lot in common with its more famous name sake.
Photo above - High tide causes the undulation of the causeway which connects the island to the mainland.
I have wanted to visit Mont Saint-Michel for years, so when I read about the similar St. Michael's Mount I worked it in to our travel plans. |

During high tide access to the island is by boat but during low tied, foot crossing is possible by the stone causeway.
Photo Above - at low tide the stone causeway allows access to the island. |
No photography is allow in the castle which is filled with antiques.
In the 12th century a church was established on the mount and was administered under the authority of Mont Saint-Michel.
The Victorian section of the castle was build in the 19th. century.
