Marazion

Marazion-St-Michaels-Mount

Marazion

Marazion is one of Britain’s oldest towns, facing St Michael’s Mount across Mount’s Bay. The Mount is a tidal island that you can walk to at low water or reach by boat when the tide is in. The town also has a long sandy beach that is popular for watersports, a high street of independent shops and an easy route along the coast to Penzance.

My Marazion videos include a beautiful spring day on the beach, cycling from Marazion to Penzance on the new cycle path and a virtual bike ride in and around the town.
