Cormoran the Giant

St. Michael's Mount is one of the most breathtaking sights in all of Cornwall. Part family home, part defensive fortress, it dominates the coastline east of Penzance. But where did the mount come from? Local legend tells of the giant Cormoran and his wife Cormelian and their dream of a home away from the rule of the Trojan invaders. This week we're going to look at that story two ways: the tale of how Cormoran's anger at his wife, and his own laziness left Chapel Rock halfway between the mount and the shore and a look at how the giants were pushed to the edges of the country by the Trojan conquest.
