OVERLOOKING MOUNT'S BAY

Picturesque Mount's Bay stretches from the Lizard Point to Gwennap Head and at its heart lies the iconic St Michael's Mount, overlooking the towns of Penzance and Marazion.

- 

Marazion is one of Cornwall's oldest towns and has a causeway linking it to St Michael's Mount, which is accessible by foot at low tide. It’s name is derived from the fairs and markets that were held here - the earliest recorded was in 1070.

Penzance slowly took over as the major town in the area in the late Medieval period thanks to its markets, fairs and harbour, and is now a thriving community with plenty of things to do in and around the area.
