Rocky island crowned by medieval church and castle, home to a living community

Still home to the St Aubyn family as well as a small community, this iconic rocky island is crowned by a medieval church and castle - with the oldest buildings dating from the 12th century.

Immerse yourself in history, wonder at the architecture and discover the legend of Jack the Giant Killer.

Look down on the subtropical terraced garden and enjoy the breathtaking views of spectacular Mount's Bay.

If the weather is favourable, take a short evocative boat trip to the island, or at low tide, enjoy the walk across the causeway.
