 Tintagel ~ Cornwall
The castle of Tintagel lies on a finger of land projecting into the sea from the flat plateau of North Cornwall.
After a period as a Roman settlement and military outpost, Tintagel was the stronghold of kings or princes of Dumnonia - a kingdom comprising Cornwall, Devon and parts of Somerset.
According to Geoffrey, Tintagel was the fortress of a Cornish duke called Gorlois and it was there - with the aid of Merlin's magic - that the boy destined to become King Arthur was conceived.

 CastleXplorer - Tintagel Castle
Tintagel Castle is set on a dramatic and picturesque headland that is virtually an island, connected to the mainland by a slim finger of land.
In 1233, Richard, Earl of Cornwall, acquired Tintagel and built a castle on the headland.
Later Earls of Cornwall made little use of the castle, leaving it in the care of a constable, and by the late 15th century the castle was already in ruins.

Between then and going their separate ways in 1993 Tintagel became weekend-warrior regulars on the folk circuit and other venues around the South-East.
Both recordings were produced by Karl Groom (now lead guitarist in UK prog-metallers, "Threshold", and a respected prog-rock and speed metal producer) and received very favourable reviews in magazines such as Folk Roots and Cross Rhythms in the UK, White Throne in the US and a couple with unpronounceable names from the Netherlands.
