Tintagel, Cornwall UK
 
Linked with the legend of King Arthur, Tintagel on the coast of North Cornwall has that little bit of extra interest. In the village is King Arthur's Hall of Chivalry with the Knights' code set out in the stained glass and in the masonry. You can see the castle ruins, said to be the seat of King Arthur's domain.

Either side of Tintagel are the popular beaches of Trebarwith Strand and Bossiney Cove.
