We parked at the car park opposite the tea room, walked down the hill to just before the lay-by and followed the footpath sign. The walk is a little rocky and steep in places so bear in mind if walking is difficult. But it’s worth the effort. Along the stream, under trees, passed the old ruins of the mill / rock carvings and up/ down to the valley and sea. We came back going up to the top, and along the sea path to the parking. Views are spectacular.
2. Merlin's Cave
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 616 reviews
Located below Tintagel Castle, the birthplace of King Arthur, this cave is believed to be where Merlin lived. The caves are accessible from a footpath, but fill with water at high tide.

You can visit these caves without going inside the castle, offering a jeep ride down and back for a small fee, well worth it, a small beach is at the bottom.. lovely and relaxing

when we visited Tintagel we found King Arthur's Great Hall and so glad we did, the tour guide was really good at setting the scene before leaving us to watch the short film about the legend of King Arthur which lasted about 15-20 minutes. We then were led into the Great Hall, the stain glass windows are stunningly beautiful, you can actually sit on the huge Throne and there's no restriction on taking photos.Young children would love this adventure...great fun and the souvenir shop is quite good too, well worth a visit.

6. Tintagel King Arthur Walk - South West Coast Path
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 177 reviews
A 3.6 mile walk on part of the South West Coast Path around Tintagel, made a romantic destination for Victorian tourists by poets such as Tennyson, whose 'Idyll of the Kings' set the tale of King Arthur in what is still one of Britain's most visited resorts. A brilliant walk for children, who will love the atmospheric ruins of 'King Arthur's castle' on Tintagel Island.

Utterly beautiful place, wild and bleak as well as breathtaking. We visited on a rainy day, the forecast promised sunny spells, it lied. The wind was pretty strong, staff were checking the gusts to ensure it was safe on the island. Even in these conditions it was beautiful, had an air of mystery and is somewhere we will definitely return to. The negative was the walk back to the village. The weather was pretty exhausting, battling against the wind and rain and we were soaked through so the climb up the hill back to the village seemed immense. It may well be fairly minimal, the weight of my wet clothes may be impacting my memory! Seriously, go visit, one to tick off a bucket list.
