The Mount's flanks are softened by lush sub-tropical vegetation and on the water's edge there is a harbourside community which features shops and restaurants Opening Times: 29 Mar - 29 Oct: Mon - Fri 10.30am - 5.30pm. Last admission 4.45pm. Shops & restaurants open daily. Nov - end Mar: It is essential to telephone before setting out in order to ascertain the opening arrangements for that day. The castle & grounds are open most weekends during the season. These are special charity days when National Trust members are asked to pay admission
