About

An ancient castle fortress, sloping subtropical gardens, sweeping lawns, and a harbour village. What will you discover first?

Our gardens, castle, lawns and village all provide perfect scope for the imagination – shaped and weathered over centuries, this extraordinary place is waiting to be explored.

With shades of the past in each room and new discoveries waiting around every corner, dig deep into the Mount’s history.

Stoop through ancient doorways and glimpse the building’s changing faces – from priory to fortified castle and, since the mid-1600s, home to the St Aubyn family, who still live here today. As you wander centuries-old corridors and unpeel layers of history, these are some of the things you will find... 

Stroll among the steep, sloping terraces and you’ll spot all manner of unlikely plants, which thrive in this curiously mild microclimate. Despite the gales and salty winds that you’d expect here, frosts are a rarity and the rock acts as a gigantic radiator – absorbing heat by day and releasing it at night.
