View of St Michael's Mount

Highlight • Viewpoint

Throughout Marazion and the wider area you have beautiful views of St Michaels Mount. After all, this castle on an island off the coast dominates the entire bay, called Mount's Bay

From here is a great view of St Michael's Mount, a tidal island that is home to a castle and a church. Access to the island is possible by foot across a causeway at low to mid tide.

Looked after by the National Trust, you can visit St Michael's Mount, which is still home to a community of people, cut off from the mainland at every high tide. See their website for further details nationaltrust.org.uk/st-michaels-mount

The site is historically linked to Mont St Michael in Normandy, which is a very similar tidal island.

YHA Penzance – Castle Horneck

Highlight • Rest Area

Truly princely sleeps in the youth hostel (YHA) of Penzance. Very nicely decorated in this former Georgian mansion, the hostel offers about 100 beds. Thanks to high-quality furnishings and details such as soft carpet and comfortable leather armchairs, one has the feeling of being in a high-quality hotel or having to pay more for it. From shared to private rooms, there is something for everyone here. The kitchen also offers daily changing dishes, from the vegetarian vegetable plate over steak to fish pie. Highly recommended!

Beautiful coastal ride between Lands end and St Ives. Possibly the best route in Cornwall ;)

Penzance Harbour

Highlight • Settlement

The coastal resort of Penzance has a faded-glamour that’s synonymous with the British seaside at its best. Renowned for great weather and plenty of nostalgia, the town has plenty to see, do and explore.
