Tintagel Castle, Cornwall

One of our favorite stops during our Cornwall trip was to Tintagel Castle. Legend has it that this medieval castle is was home to King Arthur. Unfortunately, the rain was steady and wind relentless, so we didn't get to explore as much as we would have liked. Nonetheless, the coastal scenery was some of the best we've seen in Europe.

These two shots were taken from the plateau above Tintagel Castle. The town of Tintagel is visible in the background in the 2nd photo.

These views from the plateau above the castle were absolutely breathtaking:

This old post office was located in the town adjacent to Tintagel Castle. The building dates from the 14th Century:
