Tintagel is a small village on the north coast of Cornwall, England. It is known for its dramatic coastline and the ruins of the medieval castle, allegedly the birthplace of King Arthur. The village is steeped in history and legend, and is a popular destination for those seeking a unique experience.

The site of Tintagel has been a destination for travelers since at least the Iron Age. Ruins from the Iron Age have been found on the headland, along with evidence of Iron Age and Bronze Age settlements. The name Tintagel is thought to be of Celtic origin, and translates to either ‘fortress of the narrow entrance' or ‘fortress of the small house'.

The site of Tintagel was first developed in the mid-12th century, when the Normans built a castle on the headland. The castle was constructed using granite, slate and sandstone, and was designed to be an impregnable fortress. It was connected to the mainland by a land bridge, which has since been destroyed. In 1233, Reginald de Dunstanville, Earl of Cornwall, built a new castle on the site, which he named Tintagel.

The ruins of Tintagel castle are now a popular tourist attraction. The ruins are some of the best-preserved examples of Norman architecture in the country. Visitors can explore the ruins, which include a great hall, chapel and other buildings. The headland offers spectacular views of the surrounding coastline and is a popular destination for those seeking a unique experience.

The legend of King Arthur has been linked to Tintagel for centuries, and the castle has become a popular destination for those seeking to explore the legend.

Today, Tintagel is a small village with a population of around 1,400 people. The village is popular with tourists, who come to explore the historic ruins and experience the dramatic coastline. There are a number of hotels, restaurants and shops in the village, as well as a number of attractions including the Old Post Office, which is the oldest post office in Cornwall.
