Advantages: picturesque, lovely!

Disadvantages: not a lot here really

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 all this way just to visit Tintagel as it's not the place that you can spend hours in.

Having said that, there are some fabuolous views over the dramatic coastline and some great walks along the cliffs

Summary: great to go to if you're in the area but don't make a special journey
