MARAZION
TOWN MUSEUM
The town museum is located in the Town Hall, which was
previously the HQ of Marazion & District's Fire Brigade.
The museum houses a wide selection of local artefacts
and documents and, being the former location of the town's
gaol, features a reproduction of an original cell. Available
from the museum is the Marazion Town Trust's historical
publication: The Charter Town of Marazion. The Town Hall
is located next to The Kings Arms Inn, Market Place, and
is open daily during the summer season.

MARAZION
MARSH
A short walk to the west of the
town, overlooking Marazion Beach, is Marazion Marsh. The
Marsh is a RSPB reserve and a popular birdwatching location,
especially during migration periods when thousands of
starlings perform a spectacular aerial exhibition. The
Marsh itself consists of extensive reedbeds and a diversity
of plants including Wavy St John's-wort (Hypericum undulatum),
Yellow Centaury (Cicendia filiformis) and Pillwort (Pilularia
globulifera), and is home to a large congregation of breeding
dragonflies.

ST.
MICHAEL'S MOUNT
St Michael's Mount is truly "the jewel in Cornwall's
crown" - an enchanting castle set upon an island
mount that is accessible via a causeway at low tide, and
by boat at high tide. Certainly one of the most famous
of Cornish landmarks, St Michael's Mount was established
as a sister abbey to Normandy's Mont St Michel in the
12th century, later used as a fortress during the Spanish
invasions, and is now the home of the St Aubyn family,
while partly open to the public under the care of the
National Trust.
