Tintagel Castle
Tintagel Castle is a medieval fortification on a small peninsula (Tintagel Island) adjacent to the village of Tintagel in North Cornwall, England. The visible ruins are mainly the remains of a 13th-century castle constructed by Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall; the site also contains evidence of much earlier high-status settlement from the early medieval period and has long associations with Arthurian legend.

As it stood in 1250
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on a narrow, steep-sided peninsula, the site presents a low grey-stone curtain of masonry running along the plateau and terminating in a rounded ruined tower on the seaward promontory. The headland drops in near-vertical cliffs to the sea; grassy slopes and rocky outcrops surround the stonework. Access to the plateau is only by a narrow approach along the isthmus; within the walls are the footprints of halls, a courtyard and a small chapel.
