最独特的潮汐岛城堡

圣迈克尔山，康沃尔，英格兰

潮汐岛是一块通过天然或人工堤道与大陆相连的土地，在退潮时露出水面，在涨潮时淹没。由于潮汐岛周围的神秘性，许多潮汐岛都是宗教崇拜的场所，如圣米歇尔山及其本笃会修道院。潮汐岛也通常是堡垒的地点，因为他们的天然防御工事。

圣迈克尔山是英国康沃尔郡芒特湾的一个潮汐岛。该岛是一个民间教区，通过一条花岗岩堤道连接到Marazion镇，可以在中潮和低潮之间通行。它由国民信托基金管理，自1650年以来，城堡和教堂一直是圣奥宾家族的家。

从历史上看，圣迈克尔山是康沃尔郡的圣米歇尔山，与法国诺曼底的圣米歇尔山有相似的潮汐岛特征和相似的锥形形状，尽管圣米歇尔山要高得多。

圣迈克尔山是43座无桥潮汐岛之一，人们可以从英国大陆步行前往。1995年，该岛的部分地区因其地质情况被指定为特殊科学价值遗址。

St Michael's Mount, Cornwall, England

A tidal island is a piece of land that is connected to the mainland by a natural or man-made causeway that is exposed at low tide and submerged at high tide. Because of the mystique surrounding tidal islands, many of them have been sites of religious worship, such as Mont-Saint-Michel with its Benedictine Abbey. Tidal islands are also commonly the sites of fortresses because of their natural fortifications.

St Michael's Mount is a tidal island in Mount's Bay, Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The island is a civil parish and is linked to the town of Marazion by a causeway of granite setts, passable between mid-tide and low water. It is managed by the National Trust, and the castle and chapel have been the home of the St Aubyn family since approximately 1650.

Historically, St Michael's Mount was a Cornish counterpart of Mont-Saint-Michel in Normandy, France, with which it shares the same tidal island characteristics and a similar conical shape, though Mont-Saint-Michel is much taller.

St Michael's Mount is one of 43 unbridged tidal islands that one can walk to from mainland Britain. Part of the island was designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1995 for its geology.
