Tintagel in General

I had great memories of visiting Tintagel with my parents when I was a child, and when we holidayed in Devon recently I wanted to revisit it, despite it being in the next county (Cornwall) We drove (well, my missus did) into Tintagel via Boscastle and she didn't thank me for taking her round a hairpin at the bottom of a fairly steep hill! ;) Anyway, we pulled into Tintagel and spotted a car park with a visitor/tourist information centre so we pulled in and paid £5 for a day's parking. When we walked through the village though we spotted that we could have parked for less than half that price. The visitor centre appeared to be very ...  Read the complete review

This was one of my favourite days out when we holidayed in Cornwall last year. It's a really magical place with lots to see and do and I highly recommend a visit there. Tintagel is situated on the North Coast of Cornwall. It's set in a really beautiful spot amongst Cornwall's finest beaches and bays. On the way to Tintagel itself we passed by the nearby Port Isaac and decided to stop off there for a walk as we thought it looked very pretty. If you have time do try and stop here on your way to Tintagel - its a glorious little town. There is a picturesque fishing village as well as a pretty beach and some fantastic clifftop walks to be done. I didn't realise ...  Read the complete review

While visiting Cornwall this year, we ventured out to Tintagel, round lots of windy roads, well that's the way my sat nav took me. Tintagel is a small Cornish village it is situated on the Atlantic coast of Cornwall. Car park has a pay meter we paid around £2.70 for 4 hours. There was a choice of prices depending how long you wished to stay. There is a Castle Information Centre with an Exhibition and Shop and a café just across from it were we had a nice pot of local tea. There is a walk along the coast path from Tintagel to Boscastle.I never did this but there seemed to be plenty of people walking it. The high street in Tintagel has a ...  Read the complete review

Tintagel is situated at the very northerly end of the north cornish coast and to be honest if you're staying at the vey souwthwest corner, its one hell of a drive to get here!. Its a very small picturesque little place all centred aroun d the legend of King Arther and the 'remains' of his castle can be see and visited if you have the courage to go up there! Every shop you go by sells King Arthur and Arthurian legend merchandise, they have really jumped on the bandwagon here! There isn't a lot here or in the area, a very small little beach and the usual cafe's and souvenir shops and as picturesque as this place is, I wouldn't venture up ...  Read the complete review

I have visited Tintagel many times over the past 10 years, and would first start by saying that it is seen at it's best in either late spring (May/June) or early autumn (Spetember/October). This is not only to avoid the height of the tourist season, but also because these times of year are perfect for taking long walks along the coastal path, exploring the cliffs and Tintagel castle, an impressive castle even in ruin; however not for the very unfit or faint hearted - more than once I have felt as though I would be blown over the edge on a windy day! The actual town of Tintagel is a friendly place, with plenty of good bakeries and pubs and restaurants. It is ...  Read the complete review
