Tonight we're lighting up the Mount for VJ Day 80Meet the maker: author Nicola Upson will be meeting visitors outside the Mount Shop today.

Getting here. Boating or walking?

St Michael’s Mount lies in Mount’s Bay, off the coast of Marazion. This ancient tidal island is connected to the mainland by a cobbled causeway.

When the tide is high and the causeway is covered, you’ll need to take a boat from Marazion. When the tide is low, you can walk across.

If a boat is necessary during your visit, a boat ticket banner will automatically appear during booking.

National Trust members are required to pay boat fares when booking, but not island admission fees.
