Tintagel Castle Parks & Walks

Tintagel Castle stands partly on the mainland and partly on a rugged island on the north Cornish coast. Between the 5th and 7th centuries the island fortress was a stronghold of Cornish rulers, and in the 12th century Geoffrey of Monmouth wrote that King Arthur was conceived here. Visitors cross a footbridge to the island, see the Gallos sculpture and, at low tide, can explore Merlin's Cave.

Why go here
  • ✓Castle ruins split between mainland and island, linked by a footbridge
  • ✓Gallos, a life-sized sculpture inspired by the legend of King Arthur
  • ✓Small sandy beach and Merlin's Cave when the tide is out
