Welcome to St Aubyn Estates

The Estate

Home to people, small businesses, community activities, wildlife, and abundant nature. St Aubyn Estates encompasses agricultural land, woodland, wetland, moorland, coastline and beaches. There is a generational commitment from the family and team to preserve the stunning landscape in our care.

St Michael’s Mount

Home of the St Aubyn family and a thriving island community, St Michael’s Mount welcomes upwards of 350,000 visitors each year. In 1954, a significant part of the island was donated to the National Trust. The special partnership between the Trust and the Family continues to this day.

The St Aubyn Foundation

The Foundation is the family’s charitable arm, which focuses on supporting charities in West Cornwall which make a positive impact on people’s lives.

The Christmas Carol Wreath Trail

Eleven local primary schools have each designed a unique wreath inspired by a Christmas carol chosen by one of the St Michael’s Mount island resident families.

These wreaths are hidden throughout the harbour village – will you find them all?
