Ruins of Tintagel Castle 15: Looking out to sea

Tintagel Castle is on the edge of the world, or so it seems. In fact there’s land not far to the north.

Ruins of Tintagel Castle 16: Beyond these castle walls

A more dramatic view of the defensive wall.

Stream

A stream cascading down over steps by a dry stone wall; this is the path leading to Tintagel Castle.

Ancient gatepost 2

A roughly worked rock with a gate hinge pintel set into it.
