This is a raw, rough landscape riven by storms & legends. Crowned by the legendary Tintagel headland on the atmospheric North Cornish Coast

We will walk through the ruins of the medieval castle, the mythological site of King Arthur’s conception. If the weather’s bad we can spend more time in the Old Post Office, St Materiana’s Church, the masonic King Arthur’s Halls or the otherworldly Witchcraft Museum in neighbouring Boscastle; if the weather’s good we can descend the Rocky Valley to see ancient labyrinths carved into the rock, ascend for a cliff walk perhaps or through the woods to see St Nectan’s waterfall through a hale in the rock…

There’s nowhere quite like this area: the combination of spooky dark rock and slate buildings, layer upon layer of archaeology and myth, craggy cliffs & cultural oddities endlessly fascinates me and I’m sure that if you’ve the legs &/or the stomach to really get involved, you’ll find stories & imagery round here that are uniquely memorable.

Tour Itinerary

Your precise itinerary will depend on your timing & interests, & most particularly the weather as Tintagel Castle in particular is very exposed to the elements and closes when the wind gets up. We’ll stop for refreshments at a historic pub, pasty shop or cafe/restaurant as preferred.

  • Rugged Cornish coastline with a bridge to Tintagel Castle
  • antique stone doorway with pointed peak and wooden door opened to see a rugged coastline with deep blue sea and surf
  • a close up of a dry stone wall built with a lot of vertical slates featuring pennywort leaves and a drain pipe outlet
  • An image of a colourful triptych stained glass window plus celtic cross above the altar in Tintagel Church, aka St Materiana, in Cornwall.
  • 'Selling the wind - The witches of Boscastle' sign

  • Zoe was great..


    We were delayed getting off the ship due to weather.. Zoe adjusted the itinerary.. we went to this small little cove on the beach & had lunch overlooking the beach, it was just what we wanted.
    I have to commend Zoe on talking the time to understand what we would enjoy then working that into the day.

  • Zoe was awesome!


    We loved our day with her.
    Zoe was so knowledgeable about the Celtic history and all about Cornwall. Zoe was very accommodating to our wishes and went out of her way to get us to destinations that were not close together. She took us to Port Isaac, Tintagel Castle and Bodmin Moor. Zoe is an accomplished driver which is a must in Cornwall with their extremely narrow roads. We highly recommend Zoe!
