PLEASE NOTE The Abbey is open all-year round (except January 1st, May 1st and December 25th). Most of the time the tide does not hinder access to the Mount. However, there are a few days a year when the amplitude of the tide reaches 12.85m (approx. 42ft) rendering the Mount temporarily inaccessible.
