Why Tintagel Castle matters

Tintagel Castle's ruins sit on a rugged headland, linked in legend to King Arthur. A modern footbridge spans the gap between the mainland and the island part. The story of Arthur is legend rather than proven history, but the setting is dramatic.

Talking points

  • The Arthur link is legend.
  • A footbridge spans the gap.
  • The sea views are huge.
