Ford on Country Lane, Cornwall National Landscape

Highlight (Segment) • River

Quiet and scenic country lane

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.
