hIn the middle week of our holiday we went to a holiday caravan (which turned out to be a small townhouse) in St. Agnus. Mom had booked it thinking it was much further south and had booked us tickets for st. Micheal's mount on the south coast. She actually booked near Newquay but we still went to the mount and in fact the area she booked was lovely so it all worked out.
You access the mount, which contains gardens and a castle, via a walkway which is uncovered half of the day. Once the tide comes in you need to get a boat across.

First we walked up to the castle and where glad we did. The queue was insane and half way down the hill when we came out.

After lunch (where all the delays, as it took forever for the queue to move, worked in our favour and we got a better menu by the time we got there), we went around the gardens.
Now below is a series of photos. None of us can remember what was going on but they were clearly enjoying themselves. (Not sure what was in their lunches.)

It was a lovely day and we must have walked miles. Which was dad's excuse when he fell asleep in the car while mom and I did some shopping. :)
