St Michael’s Mount features in new Great Western Railway campaign

St Michael’s Mount appears in a new national advertising campaign from Great Western Railway (GWR), as part of its ongoing Famous Five series.

This spring, the Famous Five embark on a new adventure across the GWR network, following the trail of a mysterious dragon. The campaign brings the story to life through a series of locations across the region, with St Michael’s Mount providing a striking coastal setting at the start of the story.

The advert captures the approach into Penzance by train before turning to the Mount, where the dragon is seen flying above the castle. GWR were given creative freedom to interpret the landscape, with the final film offering a distinctive perspective on one of Cornwall’s most recognisable landmarks.

The collaboration forms part of a wider effort to showcase destinations across the South West and encourage travel by rail. Penzance station provides a convenient gateway to St Michael’s Mount, with onward travel options including walking, local bus services, or a short taxi journey.

The advert is now live and can be viewed below.
