Rocky island crowned by medieval church and castle, home to a living community
The Mount is managed by both the National Trust and the St Aubyn family, working together. Latest news and updates for tickets and opening days can be found here.
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.
Visit the subtropical terraced garden and enjoy the breathtaking views of spectacular Mount's Bay.
Enjoy the walk across the causeway to reach the island at low tide, or if the tide is in, take a short evocative boat trip across.
Occasionally St Michael's Mount closes due to inclement weather. Before setting out on your journey always check the St Michael's Mount website for the most up to date information. Please book your Castle and/or Garden ticket in advance to avoid disappointment.
Most of our places run the Gift Aid on Entry scheme at their admission points.
Under this scheme, if you're not a member you have the choice of two entry tickets:
If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you a clear choice between the Gift Aid Admission prices and the Standard Admission prices at the admission point. It's entirely up to you which ticket you choose.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid - an extra 25 per cent - potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below:
| Gift Aid | Standard | |
|---|---|---|
| Amount paid by visitor | £11.00 | £10.00 |
| Tax refund from Government* | £2.75 | £0.00 |
| Total received by the National Trust | £13.75 | £10.00 |
