See, I wasn't making up the part about Tintagel Castle being the birthplace of King Arthur. See that building behind me, far away in the horizon? That's not the castle though. I wonder what that is, might be a church. It was only when we reach the island where the castle was located that I realized that I was expecting the wrong thing.

It should be named 'Tintagel Castle Ruins' ! What we saw on that island were only ruins of the castle that once overlooked the Atlantic. One part of the castle garden which was too near to the cliffs was claimed by the sea. What was left was the bottom part of the walls, an old well, an old storage tunnel and an old chapel altar rock.
This is Camelot. Camelot Hotel. Don't think that any of the Knights used to spend their nights here though. This is a modern hotel with a name from the past.

The wind at the top of the hill was extremely strong, with the temperature slightly above freezing temperature, I was only able to take a few shots before putting my hands back into the warmth of my jacket.

Talk about living on the edge... My friend has a strong appetite for stunning views and locations for photo shoots.

Get some good gloves, otherwise your trigger finger (or is it some other finger) will drop off!
