Tintagel, Boscastle & Bodmin Moor

A landscape shaped by Atlantic weather, ancient ritual and enduring legend.

On Cornwall’s dramatic North Coast, the headland of Tintagel rises from the sea — layered with myth, archaeology and medieval power.

Where History & Legend Meet

We explore the ruins of Tintagel Castle, long associated with the legend of King Arthur. Suspended between cliff and ocean, it is one of Britain’s most atmospheric historic sites.

Nearby, St Materiana’s Church stands quietly above the cliffs — its stone walls and Celtic crosses watching the tides below.

In the village, the Old Post Office offers a glimpse into medieval domestic life, while the striking King Arthur’s Great Halls reveal a more unexpected chapter of twentieth-century Arthurian revival.

Wild Coast & Hidden Valleys

Beyond the castle, the landscape opens out.

Rocky Valley, with its carved labyrinths etched into stone.
Woodland paths leading towards St Nectan’s Glen.
Clifftop walks where sea spray carries on the wind.

Each route is chosen carefully according to conditions, energy levels and your interests on the day. The North Coast is exposed and elemental — and that is part of its power.

Boscastle & the Edge of the Moor

A short drive brings us to neighbouring Boscastle, its harbour cut deep into slate cliffs. Here, layers of folklore continue at the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, while narrow lanes and stone cottages preserve the character of an older Cornwall.

If time allows, we may venture onto the open expanses of Bodmin Moor — granite tors, wide skies and a quieter, more contemplative mood.

A Landscape That Stays With You

There is nowhere quite like this stretch of Cornwall.

Dark rock and slate-built villages.
Cliffs carved by centuries of storm.
Stories that move easily between history and myth.

Whether you prefer a steady walk along the headland or a deeper exploration of hidden paths and lesser-known sites, the day is shaped around your pace and curiosity.

Tour Details

Your precise itinerary is guided by:

• Docking or accommodation location

Tintagel in particular is exposed to Atlantic winds, and flexibility ensures the most rewarding experience.

Refreshments can be taken in a historic coastal inn, a traditional pasty shop, or a carefully chosen café, depending on your preference.
