Tintagel is a charming Cornwall village best known for its famous castle. The castle is said to be the birth place of King Arthur, and the stunning views and dramatic setting of the castle certainly lend to the romantic atmosphere. Part of the castle, the gatehouse is on the mainland while the banquet hall and other buildings are on an island connected to mainland by some narrow steps and a small causeway. The island part of the castle was closed by the time we arrives but we enjoyed the view and wandered from the site of the original gatehouse to the nearby church. Once back in the village of Tintagel we had cream tea at a pub, it was pleasant enough to eat outside in the sunshine, then made our way past the meandering and crooked Tintagel post office back to the main road and heading towards Bristol.
