The castle overlooks the rugged North Cornwall coast, offering dramatic views. Tintagel Castle is said to be the birthplace of King Arthur, you can still visit the nearby Merlin's Cave. The castle also features in the tale of Tristan and Isolde. Beach café available. There is no parking on site. Pay and display parking in the village, 600 metres away. Between March and September, you can get a ride in a Landover down the hill from the main gate to the ticket office, cafe and exhibition room for £2 per person, but after that, access is via sometimes steep staircases with handrails, which will be a problem for people with mobility limitations, although a new bridge as of 2021 makes accessibility easier. Wear good shoes. There may be high winds, so bring a jacket.
Tintagel Castle is a medieval fortification located on the peninsula of Tintagel Island adjacent to the village of Tintagel (Trevena), North Cornwall in the United Kingdom. The site was possibly occupied in the Romano-British period, as an array of artefacts dating from this period have been found on the peninsula, but as yet no Roman-era structure has been proven to have existed there. It was settled during the early medieval period, when it was probably one of the seasonal residences of the regional king of Dumnonia. A castle was built on the site by Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall in the 13th century, during the High Middle Ages. It later fell into disrepair and ruin.

A beautiful tranquil waterfall which is said to have enchanted water. It's a bit of a hike to get there, especially after rainfall, so it's recommended to wear sturdy walking boots. There's a slightly easier alternative path via a track though it is less scenic.
