Tintagel Castle

We made our home base in Tintagel while staying in Cornwall because of the ruins of Tintagel Castle.  Our first full day in England we explored this place.  Richard, Earl of Cornwall, built this castle here during the 1230’s quite possibly because it supposedly where the legendary King Arthur was conceived.
