  • NEW from Easter 2008, a great value Family Ticket
  • Ask for our fun ‘Family Activity Sheet’ to enhance your visit!
  • Our video ‘Searching for Arthur’ recreates the stories of Tintagel for the young and old

A stronghold of the Earls of Cornwall, the castle was built in the C13th, now in ruins it still has the power to inspire & evoke tales of far off deeds. Climb the rugged trail across the island & watch the Atlantic breakers crash against the cliffs & into Merlin’s cave, an experience for those seeking solitude. As many mysteries remain about Tintagel as facts are known, today fact & fiction are inextricably entwined & Tintagel remains one of the most awe-inspiring & mystical spots in Britain.

Whether visited in the height of the summer when a storyteller may be on hand to bring the legends of King Arthur, Guinevere & Lancelot to life, or at its bleakest in mid-winter, Tintagel is a place to inspire imagination - a place of dreams, romance legend. After your visit enjoy a traditional cream tea in our beach side café. A day out for all the family.
