Tintagel Castle is one of the most iconic historic sites in Cornwall, steeped in legend, drama, and coastal beauty. Originally the site of an early medieval settlement (5th–7th centuries), it became linked with the legend of King Arthur—many believe it to be the place of his birth, inspired by Geoffrey of Monmouth’s 12th-century writings. • 13th Century Castle: The ruins you see today were built around 1230 by Richard, Earl of Cornwall, likely to evoke Arthurian legends and enhance his prestige.
