Where myths carve the cliffs
Tintagel’s slate streets hum with whispers of Camelot, a North Cornwall village where myths linger like mist. King Arthur’s shadow falls heavy—his castle ruins perch high above the Atlantic, cliffs cradling tales of knights, Merlin’s magic, and legendary battles. Wander the cobbled lanes, past stone cottages where cosy shops spill trinkets and book nooks beckon dreamers with stories of old. St Materiana’s Church, ancient and windswept, stands guard, its weathered stones hiding secrets older than time itself.
Just a short stroll from our fisherman’s cottage, Tintagel invites you to leave the car behind—just pull on your boots and chase legends through its rugged landscape. Discover how the village blends myth with modern life, where every twist of the lane or gust of wind feels connected to the age-old tales. Climb the steps to the castle’s cliffside perch, look out over the wild sea, and feel the pull of Cornwall’s most legendary place. As you step back down, take time to wander to Boscastle’s harbour, where witchy charm and coastal beauty weave their own magic.
