Day 2 in Cornwall
St Michael's Mount
St Michael's Mount (Cornish: Karrek Loos yn Koos meaning "hoar rock in woodland") is a tidal island in Mount's Bay. Historically, St Michael's Mount was an English counterpart of Mont-Saint-Michel in Normandy, France, which is also a tidal island, and has a similar conical shape, though Mont-Saint-Michel is much taller
- Remember to check tide times!
Directions: 40 to 50-minute drive to Marazion from Truro
Mousehole

Walk around: 12:00 - 1:00
Lunch time: 13:00 - 14:30
Directions: 20-minute drive from Marazion
Kynance Cove
Situated on the Lizard Peninsula, at about half-tide a snorting can be heard – the sound of the Devil's bellows - a blowhole on Asparagus Island. A second blowhole, the Post Office is so named because there is enough suction to post a letter in it.
Time: 15:30 - 17:00
Directions: 1-hour drive from Mousehole
Cadgwith
Cadgwith was originally called 'Porthcaswydh', becoming 'Por Cadjwydh' in Late Cornish, and is derived from the Cornish word for 'a thicket', literally meaning battle of trees, probably because the valley was densely wooded.
