Of Arthurian legend, Tintagel Castle is a medieval fortification located on the peninsula of Tintagel Island adjacent to the village of Tintagel, North Cornwall, in England. Cross the footbridge to the island, where you’ll delight in amazing views of the Cornish coast and the sea. Key highlights include the remains of the Great Hall with its spectacular coastal views and the medieval chapel ruins. You can also visit Merlin’s Cave via a steep path down to the beach below the castle. At low tide, you can walk directly into the cave, so sturdy footwear is recommended as the rocks can be slippery. Be mindful of the tide schedule to ensure a safe visit, as the cave is completely submerged at high tide. You’ll need a timed ticket to access the castle and explore the area. Visit this time of year for clearer views and fewer crowds.
