Tintagel

Tintagel sits on Cornwall’s rugged north coast, best known for the ruined castle perched across the headland and its long association with the legend of King Arthur. Around it are dramatic cliff walks, the working harbour at nearby Boscastle and a wild stretch of Atlantic coast that draws walkers and history lovers alike.

My Tintagel videos include the mystical Tintagel Castle and St Nectan’s Glen.
