Tintagel, situated in the centre of a rugged and
romantic coastline, is the Mecca of every
traveller who wanders into the West. The
legendary connection with the life of the mystic
King Arthur, is undoubtedly one of the reasons
for the attraction the village exerts. Yet the
group of old and modern houses on the bare
upland half a mile inland, the isolated church,
and the gigantic headlands with their majestic
cliffs falling steeply to the never-ending roar of
the Atlantic breakers, hold in themselves the
mysterious charm of Cornwall, old and new. Its
bleakness and its humanity, its openness and
it's ancient scenery. The castle ruins which
tradition has associated with King Arthur and
his Knights, awaken the enthusiasm of
sightseers from the world over, but what binds
them to Tintagel is the spirit of Cornwall which
the place expresses. And if they are very
modern and not open to that spirit there is so
much for them to love.

Tintagel is situated on the North coast of Cornwall and is renowned for its association with the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the
Round Table. The magic of the association is captured particularly by the castle, King Arthur's Castle, which is reached by steps leading from
the main land. Originally the Castle was attached to the main land but by erosion over the years a bridge had to be built. It is a hard climb to
the top but well worth it. The Castle is maintained by English Heritage. There are many beaches in the area, for surfers Trebarwith and
Bossiney are the main attractions, but the Castle Beach is renowned as a very safe bathing beach. For the visitor to Tintagel there are many
attractions to see in the village apart from the cliffs area. Nearby are the lovely villages of Boscastle and Delabole, the town of Camelford
and the pretty fishing village of Port Isaac.
