More about this scene

Originally, this was a priory founded by Edward the Confessor in 1044. When Richard I was away fighting in the Crusades, the mount was seized for John; Richard I subsequently retook it, and stationed a garrison here. The monks were expelled in 1425, and the site became a fortress. The men in the foreground are collecting kelp to use as fertiliser.

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!
