Cornwall: Marazion, St Michael's Mount, Kynance Cove
Watch
A look at the village of Marazion, St Michael's Mount and Kynance Cove. St Michael's Mount: in the 5th century (or later in AD710), a group of people reportedly had a vision of St Michael over the mount. In 1135, a Benedictine monastery was erected. Rebuilding was necessary in the 14th century, after an earthquake. Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries. The remains of the monastery were rebuilt into a castle, which was the home of the St Aubyn family from the 17th century. Reportedly, St Michael's Mount is the starting point for a ley line which includes Glastonbury Tor.

The most popular tourist destination in Cornwall, England. I was watching a James Bond film the other day, and it turned up as one of the sets.

Western Cornwall, England
Watch
Producer: gilliang
The south western tip of England. If you get the chance to visit, give Land's End a miss, it's just a tourist trap theme park, and go to the National Trust run Cape Cornwall instead. Just a car park, and beautiful cliff top walks.
