TINTAGEL CASTLE - CORNWALL
Tintagel Castle stands on windswept cliffs in North Cornwall on one of England’s most dramatic coastlines. The Castle is believed to be the birthplace of King Arthur who, as legend has it, was protected from the evil magician Merlin by his magical sword, Excaliber.
Tintagel Castle is an awe-inspiring place to visit and soak up the atmosphere generated by the dramatic views and wonderful legends. Today, the remains of Tintagel castle stand on rugged cliffs high above the sea. Over the years, the mainland has been eroded by the elements and Tintagel castle is now only accessible via a narrow bridge and steep steps.
Many claim that Tintagel is one of the most romantic places in the UK, with beautiful walks along the Cornish Coastal Path.
The village of Tintagel is a pretty mix of stone cottages, the village post office being a prime example of this character architecture. There are plenty of fascinating shops in Tintagel to browse through selling arts and crafts and mystical goods associated with the legend of Tintagel Castle, Camelot and King Arthur.
