Tintagel (King Arthur's) Castle For visitors and locals alike, the walk from St Materiana's Church at Tintagel on the Coastal Footpath to the Castle, is a beautiful and breathtaking experience. The peace and tranquillity of the area is captured while you walk and take in the beauty of the rugged coastline. The special path is suitable for walkers and wheelchairs alike and takes you to near the Inner Walls of the Tintagel Castle. Many years ago the original Castle was split in two by the force of the sea and you now have to traverse some steep steps to arrive at the Castle gateway. (You can however approach the bottom of the steps of the Castle on a different route via a Land Rover service). The Castle, which is in ruins, was the fortress used by King Arthur in those long gone days and the Duchy of Cornwall are now owners of the property. It is operated and maintained by English Heritage. Kit Hill Country Park A wild, rugged granite hilltop famous for its fine views and fascinating history, Kit Hill forms a dominating feature, a focal point for miles around. Climbing to just over 1000 feet above sea level (333m), it is the highest point of the Hingston Down ridge. At the summit, three viewing tables help you identify features in the surrounding countryside, including Dartmoor, Bodmin Moor, the Tamar Valley and Plymouth. On a clear day the Eddystone Light is visible. |
