Tintagel



Tom took us the back roads to Tintagel

13th century castle ruins; Earl Richard, Henry III's brother,

who built the castle, had a fine sense of location and view,

but little of defense. Most people regard it as a vanity castle,

an attempt to associate with the Arthur legends. Of course,

there is no real connection between this castle or location

with Arthur. There's nothing much substantive about

Arthur at all, but we won't let that get in the way of a good

story.
