Tintagel castle. A medievalists paradise. Apart from the creepy skeleton Arthur chilling on the cliff! #exeter #oods #tintagelcastle #camelot (at Tintagel Castle)

Photo from the English Heritage magazine of the new Arthur sculpture at Tintagel. Stunning. I love it!
Tintagel Castle
Le Fay Series – Research: Tintagel Castle
Tintagel Castle is rumored to have been the birthplace of King Arthur. However, the castle’s date doesn’t quite match up to the legend’s time period. Recent findings however reveal that there is indeed a matching time period building hidden there! How exciting!
Tintagel is a super important location in the Le Fay Series. It’s Morgan le Fay’s home. I have taken so many pictures of Tintagel that I’ve broken it up into several posts: the sea, Merlin’s Cave, and town.
The castle serves as an important inspiration for me as I build my own ancient ruins and castles in the Le Fay Series. (Hint: you’ll see some coming up in the series.) As you can see, it’s gorgeous! The mood is broody and dark with the epic sea crashing below the dark cliffs. It’s certainly worthy of being a Game of Thrones setting. I love the stacked slates and how it’s eroded and overgrown with time.
I hope you enjoyed the photos from Tintagel Castle!

The first two glimpses at our holiday trip on the trial of the Arthurian Legend! ;))) Welcome to Tintagel, the supposed birthplace of our beloved Summer King! (I KNOW the first pic isn’t quite accurate then. If he really should’ve been there at all, he was only a babe… But I couldn’t resist… My phone has a photo taken in Pierrefonds showing Bradley James as Arthur from Merlin BBC for skin! (Photo credit: bleucitron) More pics from our journey are about to come – but there are choices to make, because they’re so many – and that’s a hard one. It’ll take time.) Anyway, enjoy these for now! ;D
