The site of Tintagel Castle has been inhabited since at least the Roman period. Built with dramatic views of the ocean, the castle is a must-see destination. In 2019, for the first time in more than 500 years, the two separated halves of Tintagel Castle were reunited thanks to a new footbridge. This has proven to be very popular to cross. Timed tickets are sold so we recommend pre-booking a timed slot to visit to avoid the lengthy queues. Dogs on leads welcome. There is no parking on site but there are pay and display car parks 600m away in the village.

It has a variety of restaurants at the site but you can also take a packed lunch too. Pre-booking in high season will reduce your queue time.
