Cornwall's rugged northern coast
So beautiful on a wet a windy day. Good to beat the crowds.
Tintagel Castle is a medieval fortification located in North Cornwall. Visitors like myself flock to see Tintagel Castle as it has a long association with legends related to King Arthur. The long walk down & up the castle cliffs is worth the amazing views. In the height of summer it’s packed with people so be prepared for queues and bring a bottle of water as you break a sweat during the trek up and down Tintagel.
