Tintagel Castle

Tintagel Castle is a historic site situated on the clifftops of North Cornwall. The castle has a long association with legends related to King Arthur and has been a tourist destination since the mid-19th century. Visitors can cross a spectacular new bridge to take in unforgettable views of the coastline and explore the history-rich headland, walking among the castle ruins that still cling to the cliffs. The site also features a life-size bronze statue of an ancient king, Gallos, and offers stunning natural beauty, with opportunities to spot wildlife such as seals and birds. The castle's history dates back to the 13th century, and archaeological investigations have revealed significant traces of a much earlier high-status settlement with trading links to the Mediterranean world
