2. Rocky Valley

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.

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

Reviewed By 369susans - Liverpool, United Kingdom
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.
