Discover Tintagel
Set high on the rugged North Cornwall coast, Tintagel has dramatic sea views both from the castle ruins on the headland and island. This is a spectacular place, steeped in myths and mystery, and has inspired artists and writers throughout history who have associated it with the legend of King Arthur.
Reasons to visit Tintagel
- Set high on the rugged North Cornwall coast

- Steeped in myths and mystery
- Associated with the legend of King Arthur
- Over 18 acres to explore on the island with a garden, chapel, tunnel and well
- With a history stretching as far back as the Romans, Tintagel Castle is one of the most iconic visitor attractions in the south west

More Things to do…
- Step back in time at the atmospheric Tintagel Old Post Office, originally a 14th-century farmhouse, with its famously wavy roof. Now managed by the National Trust there are regular family events such as Victorian bread making and music in the cottage garden
- If the kids want a short break from all that Cornish culture, let them have a blast at the local skateboard park at Tintagel Playing Fields or there’s a great little amusement arcade called Camelot opposite the old post office
- Take a walk up to windswept Glebe Cliff and visit the ancient church of St Materiana’s. Little changed for over 900 years, the church is a fine example of Norman architecture and contains an array of historic artefacts
