More about this scene
An island at high tide, this famous granite rock is seen here from the eastern shore. We see the fairytale house and chapel built on the site of a Benedictine priory, with the south-east wing added by Piers St Aubyn in 1875-78. Landscaped gardens are among the rocks below.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
About this time they were adding the Victorian wing to the castle where the family live now. More trees now but some have been felled and replanted, they only last 100 years! I worked briefly on the Mount, happy memories of Lord & Lady St Levan
In front of the Mount is the folly of Castle Gayer which recently changed hands for £3m!
