Tintagel Castle

Took one day while at Newquay and went to Tintagel Castle, built in the 13th century. It's right on the coast with spectacular views of the Atlantic coast.

From Wikipedia: "The castle has a long association with legends related to King Arthur. This began in the 12th century when Geoffrey of Monmouth described Tintagel as the place of Arthur's conception in his fictionalized account of British history, the Historia Regum Britanniae. Geoffrey told the story that Arthur's father, King Uther Pendragon, was disguised by Merlin's sorcery to look like Gorlois, Duke of Cornwall, the husband of Igraine, Arthur's mother."


There was a cave down at the base. After that there was a lot of climbing to get to the top

Cool modern statue at the top. Happened to meet three young ladies from Provo at the top.

This is a view of a Church from the castle. We walked there as well since we love old churches.
