Sex is one of the reasons why Tintagel Castle is popular! According to Geoffrey of Monmouth in his book Historia Regum Britanniae, King Arthur was conceived after a man enlisted the help of the wizard Merlin to appear as King Uther Pendragon. Uther snuck into the bedroom of his wife, Ygerna. That night, they conceived King Arthur. What fun!
Seriously though, Tintagel Castle is a popular tourist destination in part because of its connection to King Arthur, but also because it is a rugged castle perched on the coast of Cornwall. It consists of ruins now, but it is worth a visit.
The ruins are divided into two parts, the ruins on the island, and mainland ruins. Both are accessible from the English Heritage gatehouse.
Stairs climbing toward the Mainland Keep.
The Iron Gate protected the castle from the sea.
The Island Keep was where the main hall and kitchens were located.
The sea cave on the left is Merlin's Cave.
Lots of trails to explore!
Tintagel Castle is a popular with families as well.
