Cornwall Travel: Visit Tintagel Beach & Merlin's Cave

Visiting Cornwall this summer? Discover Tintagel Castle's sheltered beach and Merlin's cave, a place of history and legend linked to King Arthur.

Cornwall, tucked in the south west corner of the UK, is famous for its beaches and outdoor activities, picturesque ports and relaxed vibe. But there are thousands of years of history, and a distinctive local culture to explore, too. You'll find Merlin's Cave down on one of Tintagel's best kept secrets - its very own private beach. Tintagel Castle sits atop the towering cliffs that you'll find along the north Cornwall coast - and is not too far from some celebrated surfing beaches.
