Tintagel, Cornwall, England — Peter Benson Like

Discovering King Arthur at Tintagel Castle, Cornwall, England

The ruins of mysterious Tintagel Castle cling to the rocky slopes of a windswept island. Was this the home of legendary King Arthur and the wizard Merlin? Many people believe it was, and as they climb a flight of steep and treacherous steps to visit this desolate place, they hear the ghostly cries of ancient knights and ladies in the calls of the seabirds that tumble through the wind. Returning to the real world, weary travellers can call in at the nearby Camelot Castle Hotel with its incredible views of the rugged coastline, and sample English hospitality in truly sumptuous surroundings.
