This image of the Beach at Tintagel was taken in July 2007 and features a waterfall which is usually only seen in the winter months. This year the rain had been particularly heavy in the summer.. Tintagel is located on the north Atlantic coast of Cornwall, close to the village of Boscastle. With stunning views over the sea, the town is a popular holiday destination for both walkers and those interested in the history and legend of the region.

The village and nearby Tintagel Castle are associated with the legends surrounding King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table. The village has, in recent times, become a magnet for tourists and day-trippers.

Tintagel Island, the home of Tintagel castle, was famously suggested by Geoffrey of Monmouth as the home of King Arthur and his round table. The legend still plays a large part in the towns life. The Battle of Camlann, Arthur's last battle, is re-enacted every year in August and a great tourist attraction. People come from far and wide to walk through the Vale of Avalon to visit the castle, Merlin's Cave and the views from the church of St. Materiana.
