St Michael's Mount, Cornwall



St Michael's Mount is a tidal island 366 m  off the Mount's Bay coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is a civil parish and is united with the town of Marazion by a man-made causeway of granite setts, passable between mid-tide and low water. The island has a mix of slate and granite. Its Cornish language name – literally, "the grey rock in the wood" , may represent a folk memory of a time before Mount's Bay was flooded.  Source
