Tintagel Attractions

Tintagel (8mi/13km northwest of Camelford) is probably the best known village in Cornwall, thanks to its association with the story of King Arthur and the Holy Grail.
The Catholic Church of St Paul the Apostle has a well-known thirty thousand piece mosaic within its walls. The village of Tintagel is also the site of a 14th century building that housed the post office.

Tintagel Castle was made famous by Geoffrey of Monmouth who wrote "Historia Regum Britanniae" and claimed the building was the birthplace of King Arthur.

Tintagel Old Post Office

Of great interest at Tintagel are the Victorian post office, in a much weathered 14th C stone house with slate roof, and the parish church, standing alone a short distance from the village. The old post office in particular is always crowded with visitors in summer.
