St. Michael's Mount, Cornwall
St Michael’s Mount is located on a tidal island – in Mount’s Bay
overlooking the town of Penzance – connected to the mainland via tidal
flats at low tide. Legends associate Saint Michael’s Mount with the
Cornish folk hero, Jack the Giant Killer. Cormoran the Giant, who
terrorised the land, made the Mount his home, stealing cattle from local
farmers to satisfy his giant appetite. Only Jack, a young boy from
Marazion, under the shadow of the Mount, was brave enough to challenge the
Giant’s reign of terror.
One of the more astonishing sights of the island is the castle’s garden.
While the gusty sea winds and rocky land seem to prohibit the potential of
gardening, the Gulf Stream allows for the growth of summer plants such as
agave, aloe, and puya.
