Tintagel

Tintagel sits on Cornwall’s rugged north coast, best known for the ruined castle perched across the headland and its long association with the legend of King Arthur.

Beyond the castle, the village and surrounding coastline offer dramatic cliff walks, the working harbour at nearby Boscastle, and a genuinely wild stretch of Atlantic coast that draws walkers and history lovers in equal measure.
