St Michael’s Mount

I apologise, England, I called spring too early on Sunday and now we’re back to freezing temps. Nonetheless, I have the distinct impression that warm weather vacations are sneaking up on us. And, seeing as I just booked a trip to Downton Abbey Highclere Castle at the end of August (thanks Sam!), there is nothing to lose from thinking about places you should visit once the warm weather arrives.

The first such place should be St Michael’s Mount in Cornwall. I alluded to it months ago in this post and told you a bit about its history here. But I feel like you might have forgotten about it.

Yup. Essentially Italy. But in England. Summer is coming. Cornwall is calling.

This has been a friendly public service announcement.

For more information on St Michael’s Mount, take a look at their website. It is still a family run castle, so it is often closed on weekends even during the summer months. Be sure to check before you visit.
