TINTAGEL : KING ARTHUR's CASTLE IN CORNWALL
Arthur Mee's "Kings England" commences with "It is a bit of the magic of England and seems to us as wonderful in truth as in imagination." "Its rocks rise sheer from the sea, crowned with green carpets. Cornwall's oldest church still holding services, looks down upon the Atlantic, sweeping in below". "When the wind blows, that we may lean on it, and the sea breaks on million year old granite walls, it will thrill an Englishman as few things do".
The 6th century ‘Arthur’s Stone’ is inscribed with ogham and latin. The stone is alleged to mark the spot near Slaughterbridge, where King Arthur fell mortally wounded after the battle of Camlann.
