Celtic legend has it that a few thousand years ago, Mount’s Bay was a dense forest that became the submerged victim of rising sea-levels. Evidence of preserved tree trunks from an ancient forest can still be seen in parts of Mount’s Bay at low tide. It has since suffered ship-wrecks, smugglers, Spanish attacks and a tsunami. Nowadays, St Michael’s Mount is a Mecca for photographers, it has much to offer in the quest for the perfect coastal vista and is consequently one of the most photographed places in Cornwall.
