Battlements, St Michael's Mount, Cornwall, England
Battlements with cannons looking across the bay, on St Michael's Mount, a tidal island in Mount's Bay, Cornwall, England, the site of a 12th century Benedictine monastery and 14th century castle. These cannons drove a Napoleonic ship to its capture on Marazion beach. The island is managed by the National Trust but owned by the St Aubyn family. According to legend, the Mount is the site of a battle between King Arthur and a giant. Picture by Manuel Cohen
