Castle on a tidal island, reached on foot by a granite causeway.

Walk the cobbled causeway at low tide or take the boat when the sea covers it. The castle and gardens are run by the National Trust and the island has its own small village. The views back across Mount's Bay are worth the trip alone.

Good to know

  • Check tide times before crossing
  • Book castle entry in peak season
  • Marazion has paid car parks near the causeway
