Tintagel Must-Sees

Tintagel combines Arthurian legend with rugged Cornish geology. The clifftop ruins of the 13th-century castle and the sea-carved Merlin's Cave form the village's historic core. Nearby, the Old Post Office showcases 14th-century domestic architecture with its undulating slate roof, while St. Nectan’s Kieve features a 60-foot waterfall carved through a natural rock hole. King Arthur’s Great Halls houses extensive stained glass art, and the Norman-era Church of St. Materiana stands on the windswept headland, housing a rare Roman milestone.
