Tintagel, spring 2015 - Part 1
Where to start, where to start? Here is my first glimpse of what's left of the castle.
A closer view. The bridge is the only way to reach Tintagel Island.
Unless you want to pass it, you have to enjoy the view from other nearby places instead.
The blue seas and sky and cliffs. That sort of things.
Or looking at the tide. This is pretty high tide by the way, so Merlin's cave is still inaccessible.
So let's take the stairs to what's left of the castle.
Speak the password and the seagulls will let you enter. (Or buy a ticket at the start of the causeway if you're feeling
less adventorous.)
Ruins of a wall.
Interesting ruin no 6. Or "Dark-Age remains" according to the English Heritage map. The guide book (that I
didn't buy) is possible a bit more informative.
The view from the castle island is nice too.
The present day inhabitants.
And some more of them. On the calmer, and less accessible, half of the island.
Tourist, with camera.
Younger visitors. En garde!
Grass on what remains of the Chapel.
Some more of the Chapel and the view from "inside" it.
The remains of the wine cellar?
