Tintagel

Tintagel is a holiday destination located on the North Cornwall coast. The name came from the Cornish words din, meaning a Fort, and tagell, meaning a constriction.

The Round Table

Tintagel Island, the home of Tintagel castle, was famously suggested by Geoffrey of Monmouth as the home of King Arthur and his round table. The legend still plays a large part in the towns life. The Battle of Camlann, Arthur's last battle, is re-enacted every year in August and a great tourist attraction. People come from far and wide to walk through the Vale of Avalon to visit the castle, Merlin's Cave and the views from the church of St. Materiana.
