Let Tintagel entertain you


Where in North Cornwall can you be entertained by the legend of King Arthur, find restaurants, cafes and village Inns serving local produce, browse a vast array of unique shops, visit sandy beaches and walk along the most breathtaking part of the coastal footpath?


Tintagel really does have it all. Popular attractions such as Tintagel Castle, The Old Post Office, King Arthurs Great Halls and St Materianas church are all within easy walking distance. Furthermore, a short drive, pleasant walk or bus trip away you will find St. Nectan’s Glen, cycling, witchcraft and RAF museums, ancient Holy wells, stone circles and the Arthurian Centre.


A walk along the coast path is a must when visiting Tintagel. In just three hours you can walk to the famous harbour village of Boscastle, and for the more energetic the path to Port Isaac is equally as spectacular.


Even the less able can enjoy the coast by utilising the level, multi-weather surface along the cliff top from the church to the castle. It is not unusual to see sharks, puffins, sun fish and a variety of bird of prey along the way.


Enjoy Tintagel as a daytrip or a holiday destination. There is ample parking throughout the village, but why not leave the car at home? Tintagel is served by the main bus route running along the north Cornish coast. Daytrips to Bude, Boscastle, Port Isaac, Polzeath and Padstow can be an essential element of your stay.


The Tintagel Visitor Centre really should be your first stop when arriving at the village. Learn about its dynamic history, pick up a free village map and find out what special events are taking place. Help is also available to find accommodation and bus times, and perhaps pick up a Village Trail and Coast Path walking leaflet before you start to explore!

King Arthur's Arms Inn is a family friendly pub that serves good food together with comfortable bed and breakfast accommodation.


The Inn is open all year and makes a good base for touring the spectacularly beautiful North Cornwall.


For centuries Tintagel with its powerful atmosphere has been a place of inspiration for poets, composers and artists, including Turner and Tennyson.


More recently Tintagel’s magnificent scenery has delighted the modern equivalents of the movie and television program makers from home and abroad.


The dramatic setting of Tintagel Castle, straddling the mainland and the island, seems to give credence to the myths and legends associated with it.


Reputedly the ruins we see today were built on the site of an ancient fortress that would have been used by the ancient kings of Cornwall. People are


convinced that our King Arthur was one of these kings.


Today’s remains date from 1236 and the Earl Richard, second son of King John.


The castle was added to during the 14th century by Edward the Black Prince,who was the First Duke of Cornwall. By the 17th century the ruins that survived had became known as King Arthur’s Castle.


Also in Tintagel is a gem of the The National Trust the ‘Old Post Office’. The Great Halls of Chivalry tell the story of Arthur and have a glorious selection of stained glass windows and an interesting light show.


The coastal footpath and the famous beaches of Cornwall are here to be discovered together with the Atlantic Ocean, that provides such a vista and the rolling waves for you to surf.


Come to Cornwall, come to Tintagel, come to King Arthur's Arms Inn ... come and relax!
