draliman on life

Here are some photos I took on a trip to St Michael’s Mount a couple of weeks ago. It’s off the south coast of Cornwall, near Marazion. I was given a guide leaflet which probably had some history in it, which I didn’t read :-).

I’ll do this in a few parts as I can’t choose between all the photos I took.

I parked up the beach a mile or so away to avoid the tourist traffic, so I had a nice little walk. There it is in the distance.

The tide is in so it looks like I will have to brave the high seas to get there.

And so we set sail in the mighty ship “Sea Mist”. I hope we don’t sink!

At last, after a long and harrowing sea voyage (3 minutes), tired but victorious, we reached our destination.

Hmm, looks like a bit of a climb.

Up I go, stopping often to take in the view (and catch my breath).

If that tiny hatch leads to the Giant’s Well, I’m guessing he was often thirsty.

The Cornish flag flies proudly over a bunch of slightly dodgy-looking cannons. Let’s hope we don’t have to repel invaders!

Next time we’ll take a look at the view and then enter the house (where photography was allowed!).
