The Royal footsteps on St Michael's Mount

St Michael's Mount boasts a unique collection of Royal footprints spanning generations of British monarchs. The first footprint to be preserved in brass on the granite harbour was that of Queen Victoria in 1846. King Edward VII's footprint was cast when he visited the historic castle and island in 1902. In 2013 The Queen and Prince Philip both had their footprints cast with the imprint from one of each being used and set in the harbour wall together. In 2010 the then Duke and Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Charles and Camilla left their own footprints, now cast in brass and placed outside the island shop.
