Part of having a travel and tourism Youtube channel is that you get to explore new places and this walking tour of Marazion is no different as I'd never been before. This Cornwall seaside tourist destination is a bit of a strange one however..

A place that seems to be best known for nearby St Michaels Mount, Marazion itself seems to get overlooked and forgotten. There's not even that much online about Marazion to help you research the place!

There isn't that much here with a main street that winds it's way through Marazion Town Centre and along the seafront and with the focus all inevitably on the amazing island of St Michael's Mount out at sea.

The name Marazion has erroneously been referred to as Market Jew but is believed to be derived from the old Cornish Marghaisewe, meaning Thursday market. The quaint town claims to be one of the oldest in Britain. It was known as Ictis by the Romans.

In fact, its name is derived from the important fairs and markets that were held here – the earliest recorded was in 1070. Marazion had two significant markets: Marghas Byghan (Small Market) and Marghas Yow or Jew (Thursday Market).

The seafront is popular with surfers and thee beach itself is a great place to spend time on during your Cornwall holiday.

With the best views of St Michael's Mount and out to Mount's Bay – one of the most beautiful bays in the UK – Marazion beach is not to be missed. ... The beach is long and sandy, and there's a small harbour nearby to enjoy a bite to eat or an ice cream.

But there's no denying that Marazion is a sleepy town near Penzance that is best known and probably only known for the nearby St Michaels Mount (That you should definitely visit!)
