Tintagel


Tintagel Castle is located in Cornwall and is the location most steeped in King Arthur lore in probably all of England. In fact, It was one of the few English Heritage sites that actively promoted its King Arthur connections. It is the purported birthplace of King Arthur, the location of Merlin's cave and also has associations with Tristan and Isolde. The castle is mostly in ruins but can be found (not in this particular picture) both on the island in the background and on the mainland. (Yes I know England is island too but work with me here) This is a landscape that I regret spending too little time at. If I ever make it back to England, Tintagel will definitely get an extended stay.
