Lelant train station is the starting point for the Lelant to St Michael's Mount point-to-point route via St Michael's Way.

The best way to travel back from St Michael's Mount to Lelant after reaching your destination on foot is to catch a bus from Marazion to Penzance and then a train from Penzane to Lelant. Alternatively, you can park a car at either end of the route and simply drive back to your starting point.
