Tintagel Old Post Office
historicA small fourteenth-century manor house in the heart of Tintagel village that served as a letter-receiving office for the district in the Victorian era. Now managed by the National Trust, the building's wavy slate roof and ancient proportions make it one of the most charming medieval vernacular buildings in Cornwall — a counterpoint to the castle drama half a mile away.
0.5 km away
King Arthur's Great Halls
historicBuilt in the 1930s by a wealthy devotee of the Arthurian legend, King Arthur's Great Halls is a remarkable folly containing the largest collection of stained glass windows depicting Arthurian themes anywhere in the world. The Hall of Chivalry, with its round table of Cornish granite, is a unique and slightly surreal monument to the power of the Tintagel legend.
