Tintagel is believed to be the birthplace of King Author. Whether that is true or not it is truly an amazing place. It has over 70 rectangular buildings ruins and more post-Roman pottery has been found there than in the rest of Britain put together. The ruins of the dominant castle was built in the thirteenth century by Earl Richard. The water falls are said to be where Arthur's knights were blessed before the Quest for the Holy Grail.
In Tintagel village this is also the Old Post Office . It was used as a post office from 1844 to 1892. Prior to that is was a yeoman's dwelling build in the fourteenth century.
