Tintagel

Set in one of the most dramatic spots of the North Cornish coast, Tintagel consists of a beautiful rock on which can be found the remains of numerous settlements, and one of the tackiest and bizarrest towns in the country.

Famous as the mythical birthplace of King Arthur, the headland is 300 feet high and plunges dramatically to the Atlantic, which is gradually eating away at the promontory here so that one day it will come crashing down into the sea.

On the summit of the site are the foundations of a chapel that was rebuilt by the Normans, who constructed a castle here, but which was probably founded here in 500 AD and lasted until the 9th century.

Boscastle

A beautiful harbour village, made famous by Turner's paintings of it in the early 19th century, one of the finest walks in Cornwall is along the coast from Tintagel to Boscastle.

The harbour is now in the keeping of the National Trust, lying in a sudden and deep cleft in the cliffs that protect boats from the terrors of the sea and make this a dramatic sight. The church, refashioned in the last century, retains some of its Norman features. There is also a witches' museum here.
