St. Michael's Mount
"The Mount's Bay presents a most delightful and interesting view to travellers, as its shores are sprinkled with towns, villages, churches, cottages, and villas; and near its eastern margin, a pile of rocks, supporting a venerable chapel and tower on their summit, start abruptly from the waves and present a most singular and pleasing appearance, this is from which this pleasant part of our Island derives its name."
