Description
King Arthur's Arms Inn is a family friendly pub that serves good food together with comfortable Bed and breakfast accommodation. The Inn is open all year and makes a good base for touring the spectacularly beautiful North Cornwall.
For centuries Tintagel with its powerful atmosphere has been a place of inspiration for poets, composers and artists, including Turner and Tennyson. More recently Tintagel’s magnificent scenery has delighted the modern equivalents of the movie and television program makers from home and abroad.
The dramatic setting of Tintagel castle, straddling the mainland and the island, seems to give credence to the myths and legends associated with it. Reputedly the ruins we see today were built on the site of an ancient fortress that would have been used by the ancient kings of Cornwall. We are convinced that our King Arthur was one of these kings. Today’s remains date from 1236 and the Earl Richard, second son of King John. The castle was added to during the 14th century by Edward the Black Prince, who was the 1st Duke of Cornwall. By the 17th century the ruins that survived had became known as King Arthur’s Castle. The relentlessly pounding seas around our coastline has taken it’s toll on the landscape and much of the land that was around the castle has fallen away.
Also in Tintagel is a gem of the The National Trust the “Old Post Office “. The Great Halls of Chivalry tell the story of Arthur and have a glorious selection of stained glass windows and an interesting light show.
The coastal footpath and the famous beaches of Cornwall are here to be discovered together with the Atlantic ocean, that provides such a vista and the rolling waves for you to surf.
Come to Cornwall, Come to Tintagel, Come to King Arthur's Arms Inn, Come and relax!
