Tintagel Castle

Tintagel Castle

I have just returned from a wonderful holiday. This photo was taken at Tintagel and is on the north coast of Cornwall, set high on cliffs overlooking the sea. Tintagel is the legendary site of King Arthur’s conception and birth. Historically it would appear that Tintagel was an important trading post from late Roman times until it was abandoned at the end of the 7th century. Around 1230, a castle was built at Tintagel by Richard, Earl of Cornwall and son of King Henry III.
The ruins of Tintagel are such a beautiful sight ….but ooooooh so high…I was so brave to climb that cliff….I’m not good with heights but I saw this shot on a postcard and I just HAD to get it for myself…lol. It was well worth the climb :-))

  • LYN EVANS replied

    Thank you sweetie…it was such a magical place and of course the blue skies make such a difference. I bet it would look very eerie in the fog though…ooooh-er. I wouldn’t want to climb that cliff in the fog either.
