TINTAGEL VILLAGE CORNWALL | Full village tour of Tintagel Cornwall

TINTAGEL VILLAGE CORNWALL | Nestled on the rugged north coast of Cornwall, England, Tintagel is a charming village steeped in myth, history, and natural beauty. Tintagel and the nearby Tintagel Castle are a tourist destination forever linked to the legend of King Arthur, making it a popular Cornwall travel destination for history buffs and literature enthusiasts alike.

Here are the top five reasons why you should visit Tintagel:

Tintagel Castle:The crown jewel of Tintagel, this dramatic castle ruin sits atop the cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. While the exact origins remain debated, some believe there may have been Roman and post-Roman settlements here. The 13th-century remains are impressive, with sections attributed to Richard, Earl of Cornwall. Tintagel Castle's legendary association with King Arthur adds to its allure, making it a must-see for fans of Arthurian legends.

St. Nectan's Glen: A hidden gem, St. Nectan's Glen is a mystical wooded valley with a cascading waterfall. Legend says that St. Nectan, a 5th-century saint, established a hermitage here. The enchanting walk through the glen leads you to a series of waterfalls culminating in a spectacular 60-foot drop into a plunge pool. Swimming is permitted in the lower pool, but be sure to check the conditions and tides beforehand.

King Arthur's Great Halls: Located on the mainland side of Tintagel Castle, these are the supposed remains of King Arthur's court. While the historical evidence is slim, the excavations offer a glimpse into the lives of people who lived here in the Dark Ages. The dramatic setting and Arthurian connection make it a popular spot for visitors.

Merlin's Cave: Accessible when the tide is low, Merlin's Cave is a sea cave linked to the legend of King Arthur's wizard, Merlin. The dramatic location and folklore make it a popular spot for exploration and photography.

Tintagel Old Post Office: A delightful example of Victorian architecture, the Tintagel Old Post Office now houses a museum that delves into the village's rich history and geology. Exhibits explore smuggling, shipwrecks, and the lives of the local people. The interactive displays make it a great place to learn about Tintagel's past.
