TINTAGEL CASTLE

The visible remains are of buildings dating mainly from the 13th century, but the earlier history is unknown. The castle was abandoned around 1500 when the sea eroded its base and cut it in half. It is thought possible that this could be the famous castle of King Arthur.

English Heritage, open all year.
