Meintje and Camiel recently wrote about their visit to a world-famous site in Northern France: Le Mont-Saint-Michel<\/a>. But did you realise that there is a replica of this structure in Southwest England? Meet Mont-Saint-Michel\u2019s\u00a0 little brother: Saint Michael\u2019s Mount.<\/strong><\/p>\n Follow the medieval paths towards the castle. Walk through subtropical gardens. Listen to the island residents tell their unusual stories. Why was it built? Who lived here? Listen and discover how people lived here centuries ago and be aware of the changing tides. A visit to Saint Michael\u2019s Mount is amazing. Allow at least half a day for it, there is so much to see.<\/p>\n While Mont-Saint-Michel attracts millions of visitors each year, only about 65,000 people visit this unique structure in Southwest England<\/a> every year. Why? It\u2019s a mystery to me, because it\u2019s a magical place! The small island is 366 metres from the coast of Mount\u2019s Bay in Cornwall. It is connected to Cornwall\u2019s oldest town of Marazion by a cobbled granite causeway.<\/p>\n The island is only accessible by foot for a number of hours each day. At other times you need to take a boat or defy the water and swim across. It may therefore happen that you can walk across but will have to take the boat or swim back. The water rises before you know it. It\u2019s an unusual experience to witness such a natural phenomenon.<\/p>\nWatch out for wet feet!<\/h2>\n
