"We may never see her, but we will always know where she has been."
Here are some pictures of #rocks and #RockFormations at #TintagelHaven, which is a small #beach area in a #bay by a pair of #headlands. I like the mix of regularity and irregularity in the rock and #boulder layers and they’re here purely on aesthetic grounds.
The #bay is called #TintagelHaven and the two #footbridges form a #path toe #TintagelCastle. I’ll post separately with #photographs of our little visit to small #beach there.
#CoastalPaths obviously rise and fall but there are several sections where they’re fairly level.
There were some interesting formations of rock along the walk. Here is an almost perfect square cut out of the cliff, which suggests it might be artificial, though I don’t know for sure.
Looking south from the #Promontory, we see the #countryside of #Cornwall. Unfortunately, the visibility was not as good as it could be but cooler weather is better for hiking.
Just north of the #headland are two large rocks which are called #TheSisters according to my #OSMap. A safe place for #gulls to congregate.
#CoastalWalks are easy as there’s virtually no need to navigate, but I still do like to have my #OrdnanceSurvey #map with me. This first #promontory, slightly to the east of #Tintagel is called #WillaPark.

Today we went to #Tintagel, which is on the #NorthernCoast of #Cornwall. It is supposed to be the place where #KingArthur was conceived. The veracity of that claim is highly dubious but the rugged beauty of the coast is beyond question. It’s not too difficult to get to, being just over an hour’s drive away. Today’s walk totalled about 12 km.
