Winter on the Mount
Winter is a wonderful time to experience the Mount at a gentler pace. With fewer visitors, you’ll discover a quieter, more contemplative side of island life. Wander the cobbled village and historic harbour, before warming up with a hot drink and a slice of freshly baked cake in the Island Café.
Access information
During the winter, tickets are not required to visit the island. Explore the art gallery, visitor centre, harbour, village, café and shops without purchasing a ticket until 30 April (excluding Easter).
Plan your visit
St Michael’s Mount is an ancient tidal island of history, myth, legend and adventure. Find out everything you need to know about opening times on St Michael's Mount, as well as parking, accessibility information, getting to the island and more.
Walking the causeway
At low tide, walk the ancient, cobbled causeway to the island and walk in the footsteps of pilgrims, traders, nobles and villagers over many hundreds of years.
Step back in time
Discover how life was lived in west Cornwall before the middle of the twentieth century at the Steward's House art gallery, located in the harbour village.
