With a wondrous location on Cornwall’s dramatic Atlantic coast, Tintagel is a storied place where the legend of King Arthur was born. This spot is rich both in flora and fauna and in history.  It provides a breeding ground for sea birds, lizards and butterflies and will offer you the opportunity to take them in first hand. Tintagel Castle is Cornwall’s most memorable site. The castle was built in the 13th century; now in ruins, it still has the power to inspire the heart and the mind.

There are many relics of antiquity to be found at Tintagel, including the so-called King Arthur's Footprint on the Island and a carved rock from Starapark.  These have been written about these as Bronze Age ritual objects. "King Arthur's Footprint" is a hollow in the rock at the highest point of Tintagel Island's southern side. It is been determined that it is not entirely natural, as it has been shaped by human hands at some point. It is possible that it may have been used for the inauguration of kings or chiefs as the site has a long history, stretching as far back as the Dark Ages. The name is probably a 19th century invention by a local castle guide.
