Located on the coast Tintagel Island is said to be the birthplace of King Arthur and every year scores of tourists flock here to wander around the quaint town and visit Tintagel castle. Tintagel is thought to have been the trading settlement of Celtic kings during the 5th and 6th Century and is famously said to be connected not only to King Arthur and Merlin but also King Mark and Tristan and Isolt. Tintagel not only provides a mystical air for the adventurous coastal tourist but also for the historians. In fact, one of the main attractions for many historians is that so little is actually known about Tintagel and that every exploration of the remains yield an unexpected, and often inexplicable, link to the past.

The remains of the castle, which was built in the 13th Century, is located on the coast of Cornwall and provides spectacular views across the windswept cliff edges of the Cornish coast. The town of Tintagel is itself also worth a visit. It offers the tourist the chance to sample everything Cornish from its pasties to its cream teas.
