Legend has it that the real home of King Arthur and the true location of Camelot and Merlin's cave is the historic and stunning Tintagel Castle, Cornwall. We took the Gimbal Walk TV Cameras along to film a walk in and around this beautiful location, across the famous Tintagel Bridge and around the castle grounds.

In this video you will see the grounds of Tintagel, a walk across the amazing Tintagel Castle bridge, a look at the King Arthur Statue and then down the path to see Tintagel Haven, the beach and Merlins Cave where the wizard Merlin was said to have lived.

This medieval site was home to buildings for centuries and eventually a castle was built here after the Earl of Cornwall became influenced by the myth and legend of King Arthur.

When you arrive in Tintagel Village you park your car in the the village carpark and make your way down through the village to the entrance to the castle.

This is an English Heritage site so there is an admission fee to enter and explore the castle but it's most definitely worth every penny as you will see in the video.

It is free to just wander down to Tintagel Haven and the beach but you won't get to see the sights and scenery and views from the castle which is an absolute must during any Cornwall holiday.

We begin this Tintagel Castle Tour just before the Tintagel Castle Bridge and looking across to the Camelot Hotel that dominates the clifftop views to the North as it looms over the sea and over Tintagel beach.

The walk around Tintagel Castle isn't a short one, it takes a couple of hours from the village, down to the castle, across the bridge and round the grounds if you want to make the most of your visit.

There are also steep steps, slopes and climbs so make sure you are good with all that, and that you are wearing strong footwear!

There has been a settlement in the area since Roman times but the place really grew in notoriety and popularity after Geoffrey of Monmouth chronicled that Tintagel Castle was the birthplace of King Arthur.

Tintagel Castle was once reached naturally from the headland by simply walking along to it, but over time the natural bridge eroded and collapsed into the sea. Since then there have been a couple of bridges built and currently there is the famous Tintagel Castle Bridge which is honestly a tourist attraction and destination in it's own right!

This is just one of a series of videos on the channel filmed in the area so make sure you are subscribed to see all the other places I have been to!
