Tourists at Tintagel
Tourists visit the legendary seat of King Arthur
In partnership with:

Overview
Tintagel means village on a mountain and aptly the Castle ruins sit on a rugged Cornish headland. In the 1930s archaeologists found remains of a civilisation dating back to the Dark Ages. Tintagel attracts thousands of visitors each year thanks to William Worcestre who in 1480 names Tintagel as the place of King Arthur's birth.
In 1136 Geoffrey of Monmouth writes the literary Historia Regum Britanniae or the History of the Kings of Britain which helps to popularise the legend of King Arthur. In Arthurian legend, King Arthur is conceived at Tintagel by Uther Pendragon and Igraine, wife of the Duke Gorlois of Cornwall. Historically, between 1225 to 1233 Henry III's brother Richard the Earl of Cornwall builds a castle at Tintagel. In 1337 Edward the Black Prince the first Duke of Cornwall renovates the Great Hall of the Castle. The property belongs to the Duchy of Cornwall and is run by English Heritage.
