St Michael’s Mount takes centre stage in a recent episode of Countryfile, offering a powerful look at the island in the wake of Storm Goretti.

Filmed in the weeks following the storm, the programme explores the impact of extreme weather on the Mount’s landscape and community, alongside the careful work now underway to assess and respond to the damage. Presenters Anita Rani and Sean Fletcher meet members of the Mount team and island residents, sharing personal insights into life on the island during this extraordinary time.
