Storm Damage Reported at St Michaels Mount, Marazion
Recent winter storms have caused visible damage to parts of **Marazion’s iconic landmark, St Michael’s Mount, with high winds and powerful waves impacting sections of the harbour wall and surrounding coastal defences.
The extreme weather, which has affected much of the Cornish coastline, highlights the raw power of the Atlantic during storm season and the ongoing challenges faced by historic coastal sites. Conservation teams are now assessing the damage to ensure the long-term protection of this much-loved landmark.
Despite the recent storms, Marazion remains a beautiful and fascinating place to visit year-round. Dramatic seascapes, ever-changing coastal views, and the resilience of Cornwall’s historic sites all add to the area’s unique character.
Guests staying at The Penellen can experience these moments firsthand — from calmer winter walks along the shore to spectacular views shaped by nature’s forces, all just a short distance from one of Cornwall’s most famous landmarks.
