The remains of Tintagel Castle are at the heart of Arthurian legend. The location of the castle is spectacular – half a mile outside of Tintagel, across rugged clifftops, with no vehicular access. Tintagel Island, attached to the mainland by a sliver of land, enhances the wild and romantic atmosphere.
Covering about two acres, this museum has grown since opening in 2008 and now extends to18 separate buildings with thousands of historical items and displays. RAF, Royal Navy and British Army artifacts are displayed alongside American and German items. Your tour will start with a film showing how the museum started and buildings have audio/video systems to help. Dogs are allowed and all buildings have wheelchair access. A point to note before you visit; drive through the blue double gates on arrival into the car park inside (there is a smaller museum next door which leads to confusion)
A 600 year old traditional Cornish longhouse, inside which is a fully restored Victorian post office.
Take a trip down memory lane and see toys and artefacts from a bygone age. You'll find a vast selection of toys alongside items to purchase.
