this magical Island topped with a

medieval skyscraper has been a holy

place since the year 708. would have

been a drawbridge at one point

climb is winding cobbled streets past

age-old gauntlets and eateries

all while surrounded by the vast sea

inside this world heritage site that

stood on these Shores for well over a

thousand years

[Music]

pilgrims first came to the mound to be

Hermits attracted by the tides that rush

in so fast

they could cross quickly and be alone

here

and in the year

966 his first church opened

[Music]

after dark is enchanting streets take on

a whole new atmosphere

[Music]

whatever you are on the mound you can

look up at its shining Beacon above

[Music]

so we're currently on our way right

there actually that's where we're going

looks like a green screen yeah it

doesn't even look real

wow I'm getting closer now still quite

far away there you go

crazy like

the top of the tower man

just built on a rock

mate there's an air right raid siren

going off it

come on

Saint Michelle

is that normal

I didn't actually connect this with a

bridge like an actual Bridge across the

water until the late 1800s so before

that you could only get to it obviously

if the tide was out

crazy

so I love all this mud and like Sandy

stuff it's actually sinking mud so if

you were trying to invade the castle

yeah definitely not gonna be easy to be

getting stuck in the mud sink in all

your homies we have to pull you out and

stuff

during the Hundred Years War between

England and France

English besieged and blockaded monsan

Michelle three times

the French had built strong walls in the

13th century that would enable it to

withstand a 30-year long Siege by the

English

[Music]

in 1622 monks had to cope with the

arrival of prisoners imprisoned without

trial

the monks were driven from The Abbey in

1790.

but the prison wouldn't close until 1863

when the monument was left in a state of

severe dilapidation

I'm excited for this you know I'm like

really excited I've been for a little

still standing still working on it

wow look at that reminds me of like

Scottish architecture a bit

oh look at this door oh I'm out of

breath right now

shrunken human

got a little cut through there I want to

go through there

I don't know how much we actually get to

get access to but last night

Castle but in Scotland

whoa

you hear all the pigeons

they're all coming in for this Monday

I thought I'm more View

so this is the thing where they used to

I know it's cool

look at the things that's actually on

are just so Rusty oh yeah

let's move

wow it's like a chapel after truffle

sort of thing yeah

so many rooms to this place

look at this

see it used to have much more detail

it's just worn

down over the years

basement of this place would be so cool

north south stairs

sounds Hollow

quiet

foreign

1940.

I know they used all these different

rooms for we should have got the

headsets hmm

I'm not sure what that is

crazy in our history is just like in

these rules

yeah there is a lot this doesn't look

like

oh it's crazy

it's crazy real

oh I'm made probably

still look at the floor in here as well

foreign

caged off

[Music]

wow I think this is the biggest castle

we would have ever been in

wow

wow this is a proper spiral circuit

it keeps going up no

to pass right up to the tower

[Music]

it's a little long way down

I'm gonna fall down these stairs

I think I'm much easier

and here we go back through

oh yeah what sides down all the

staircase yeah so I think we're gonna

try and hunt down some food see if we

can find something to eat but you're

gonna get to see both sides The Best of

Both Worlds is

all right

into the gardens

foreign

[Music]

hello

hello you're friendly

hello

hello little ones

what are you thinking

wow beautiful gardens blinded by the sun

about

there you go

in the garden of a view like this

insane man

it's looking back up here

I wish we could get right into the top

of there

that's probably where there's some

people used to come on on boots and

stuff

prisoner Hall what oh yeah

just as jail cell window

Arrow slits

with the natural rock oh yeah it's easy

like a thousand years St Michael's Mound

so I've been calling it that's what I

thought it was before we came

I don't know if that's if that's just

the Somerset in here oh Saint Michael's

Mound what's up St Michael's Mount oh is

it yeah and this is Mont sink Michelle

look at those so it's neat in there

that's a nice piece of wood though man

it is you can make something nicer like

a nice table or something

so yeah the Abbey actually is 11 Euros

each unless you're European and under 25

then you get it for free I think it's

definitely worth it even though the

building work was on it was only in that

small part so yeah definitely worth the

11 Euros but apart from that to actually

come here is totally free is the exit

then

that was great I really enjoyed that

windy

the hell

back where we started then well let's

have a little Mission around see if we

can find something to eat maybe get a

warm drinks somewhere

no way down and this is the entrance to

the hotel now apparently so

let's check it out here we are reception

look at this place

there's nobody here

thank you

restaurant downstairs is real nice

it's so old

yeah oh

this building works in the music but

look this is where we are I have to be

quicker we're gonna get copyrighted but

here's our room

just took us all the way up to the back

up to the top of that Abbey the mountain

yeah of Michael's Mound

foreign

this is our room for the night

nice man

I don't like the root

so from that Drilling

they're replacing the window

Sea View you've got the Sea View so they

actually upgraded Us for free

I guess there's no one really here so

it's nice oh yeah

I can't even fit in there man that's a

miniature yeah

look it's a really nice shot looking

back in there look how cozy that looks

yeah it's a nice one I like it me too

but if you're wondering how much a room

out of season costs you at this sort of

room it's 80 pounds

so I'm not sure what that is in Euros of

dollars we can type in on Google 80

pounds I think that's a real fair price

in England it would be like 150 pound

200 pounds to stay at like a tourist

place like this yeah right in the center

definitely yeah definitely worth it

let's go and get some food anyway yeah

the side window is really nice too

over there

back away we just were we're gonna have

food here I think I think we're gonna

have some spaghetti let's do it Jess is
