Was Tintagel Castle, situated
dramatically on the cliffs above this sleepy
village and its shingle beach, ever the home of
King Arthur?
And did his famous magician Merlin live in a sea
cave below it?

Although the castle was built
for the Earl of Cornwall in the 11th century there
is real evidence of an earlier settlement dating
to Arthur’s time.
Whatever the truth, the village itself is a
genuine Cornish curiosity.
The old Post Office is a 14th century manor house
that has been restored to show how the mail got
through even in Victorian times.
