Celtic Cross & Sunset, Tintagel, Cornwall

With only living in the next county I have been lucky enough to visit Cornwall many times over the years. I love Cornwall, especially out of season.

Wonderfully rugged & dangerous coastline, desolate Bodmin Moor, picturesque fishing villages, beautiful beaches are all to be had in the south west corner of England.

St Michaels Mount

An excellent page on Cornwall ! I love your Celtic cross at Tintagel ! Moreover, the very name of Tintagel reminds all the legends of King Arthur !

Cornwall is such a beautiful and fascinating area. I would love to visit there one day. From your pictures it looks like its almost untouched by time.

So many fascinating places: Merlin's Cave, Goonhilly Earth Station, St. Michaels Mount, the Eden Project.... Wish I could see them all. Hopefully someday we will.
