Arthurian Legend, Tintagel

The castle ruins we see today are on the site of an ancient fortress, which belonged to a great warrior of the West Country, contributing to the legend of King Arthur and the tales of the great wizard, Merlin. The site has appeared in many TV and film adaptations, and for many who visit, it leaves them with a palpable sense of magic. There is a story of a young widow who placed the ashes of her husband in a particular spot, with an incredible view along the coast and out to sea. Years later she came across a box of photos, taken by her husband, long before they ever met. The very last photo was exactly the same view from Tintagel Castle were his ashes were scattered…
