Tintagel is a village on the Atlantic coast famous for its association with King Arthur.  Older buildings built before the Victorian Era seem to emerge from the ground keeping low to gain shelter from the storms that sweep over the coast in winter.
 
The castle remains stand partly on the cliffs and partly on a narrow split of land, this was actually built in 1145 for the Earl of Cornwall. Paths descend from the village to a shingle beach and Merlin's Cave.
