Sensible shoes are advisable as causeway and paths are cobbled and uneven. Steep climb to castle. Unsuitable for prams and pushchairs. Passages in the castle are narrow, so some delays may occur in the height of the season. Dogs are not allowed in the castle or grounds and there are no facilities or grassed areas for dogs on the island. Access by boat or causeway and all visits to St Michael's Mount are subject to favourable weather conditions
