St Michael’s Way Passport

Friends of St Michaels’s Way have produced a ‘passport’ based on the model used on the Camino in mainland Europe. You can record your walk along the route by pressing the stamp at each location in to the matching square in the passport. The stamps can also be used in a Camino passport to help evidence that you have put in the miles which can now count towards the 100km required to qualify for a Compostela certificate in Santiago.

Where to find the stamps and your passport:

Stamps

• Lelant
Inside St Uny church near to the St Michael’s Way banner.

• Bowl Rock
By the gate of Tresithney, which is the house on the right (from the Lelant direction) leading down to Bowl Rock.

• Trencrom Hill
On the waymark post by the kissing gate adjacent to the road entrance of the National Trust Trencrom Hill car park.

• Ludgvan
Inside the church near the St. Michael’s Way banner.

• Gulval (optional)
In the entrance porch of the Coldstreamer Inn, which is just beyond Gulval Church and opens at 11am. Follow the road to the right around the churchyard and the Inn is ahead on the left. Continue down around the churchyard to regain the St. Michaels’s Way route on the right.

• Marazion
Inside the church near to the St, Michael’s Way banner.

• St Michael’s Mount
In the Change House which is open from 8am to 6pm during the season.

As it is not usually possible to go not the Mount without a pre-booked ticket there are three options to obtain your stamp:

  1. If you have a pre-booked ticket then you will be able to stamp your passport while you are there. The Change House is in the building on your left as you enter the Mount.
  2. If the state of the tide means that the Causeway is open then walk over to the Mount. When you arrive at the entrance show your passport to the person on duty and ask if you may stamp it in the Change House. Normally you should be allowed to do so. When you have stamped your passport please leave the Mount straightaway.
  3. If the Causeway is not open then use the stamp in Marazion Church.
