MARAZION and ST MICHAEL'S MOUNT CORNWALL is an absolutely stunning and unique part of the world. Marazion is a town looking out at the beautiful St Michael's Mount. We take a walk through the town, down to the beach and across towards St Michael's Mount island, accessed by either a cobbled path or by boat.
This place is absolutely amazing for a holiday or a day trip with great beach, hotels and restaurants, ice cream shops, and everything else you need for a seaside holiday in Cornwall.
The ancient market town of Marazion is a great place to visit at any time of the year. Safe, sandy beaches are lapped by the clear, turquoise waters of Mount's Bay and guarded by the island fortress of St Michael's Mount.
Take a walk along the main street running parallel to the sea and discover a variety of gift and craft shops along with art galleries showing established and upcoming local artists and plenty of places to eat and drink.
Aside from the ever present view of the Mount, the long sweep of Mount's Bay is a great place to watch wind and kite surfers with the newly improved walking/cycling route along the bays edge, providing a great viewpoint.
Marazion beach is a vast sandy shoreline within Mount’s Bay. Backed by the bustling village of Marazion, the focus of this charming coastline is St Michael’s Mount and the fascinating cobbled causeway that leads to the legendary island.
St Michael’s Mount is the well-known unbridged tidal island just off the coast of Marazion, one of the oldest chartered towns in the UK. The iconic St Michael’s Mount is home to a small community, medieval castle, and church and visitors can access the island by boat or on foot at low tide when the ancient stone causeway, constructed in 1425, is revealed, but only for four hours each day.
Marazion makes the claim to be the oldest town in Cornwall, having a charter granted in 1257. It also claims that St Michael's Mount is the isalnd of Ictis, where the Romans traded for tin.
With the ancient Cornish name for St Michael's Mount being Karrek Loos yn Koos, meaning 'hoar rock in woodland', and the remains of fossilized trees found buried in the sand of the bay, it is believed that prior to 2000bc, the 'island' was surrounded by woodland, not water and may have been a prehistoric fortification. A monastery was first created here in the 9th century.
However, the claims that Marazion got its name from being a market place of the Jews, (see also Market Jew Street in Penzance) is now thought to be wrong, the original name meaning 'small market' in Cornish.

If you are going to Devon next, please go to Croyde in North Devon. I was evacuated during the second World War and have never forgotten it. I can no longer travel so it would be much appreciated. Thank you. I stayed in Combas Farm for two years, from six weeks old until the end of the war in 1945. I love all your films. Thank you, Diane.

Loved seeing Marazion once more. I ran Cobble Corner and left in 2002. I see the shop front hasn't changed one bit since I had it changed in 2001. A lovely place with lovely people. Used to be around 1700 inhabitants which swelled to around 7000 in the summer. Memories etched forever.

Yes I remember sitting on that bench in front of the war. Memorial opposite the church. When I stopped at Mousehole in 2020. After being turned away from saint Michael's mount. Because I didn't book it first. Because it was covid time.😂🇬🇧
