Tintagel Castle, a medieval home for Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall, once stood on a narrow-necked peninsula of the same name on the North Cornwall coast. Evidence of the site being a high status settlement has been unearthed dating from at least the 5th century. Incredible. And then there are the King Arthur legends. Great stuff for those of us who enjoy a good Celtic story!

A visit and wander around will only whet your appetite to learn more of the history and myth surrounding this dramatic spot of coastline.

The view here is looking north along the coast from the peninsula above the castle site. The remarkable azure blues of the water! I could have sat for days just taking it all in! I'm sure centuries of pounding waves have changed the coastline somewhat, but the essence of life throughout the ages is still there - wind, waves, water.
