2004 UK Holiday 12: Cornwall: St Michael’s Mount (page 6/17)

First glimpse of the castle

Looking up at the castle. And yes, there’s a person standing on the battlements.

First glimpse of the castle 2

OK, maybe this is the second glimpse!

First glimpse of the castle 3

It’s well defended.

A ruined bit

Although the castle itself is in good repair, this old building part-way up the path is just a ruin.

Ruined tower

An old watch tower or maybe a gun emplacement? It’s now overgrown with creeper.

Sentry window

Somewhere a defender could watch for the approach of attackers?

Through the sentry window

Looking out from the ruined stone building.

Shallow steps

Some rough stone steps leading up.
