Castle Road, Tintagel, Cornwall, PL34 0HE

Tintagel Castle is a historic site situated on the clifftops of North Cornwall. Due to the rugged coastal landscape, there are steep slopes, sheer drops and uneven surfaces which can present a challenge to visitors.

If possible, we ask our visitors to follow a one-way route around the site which means leaving via 140 steep steps. Please see our access page for detailed information and advice for visitors with limited mobility.

Please note: due to constant natural movement by the sea and tides, the access down to Tintagel Beach is currently blocked by a large boulder. The route involves clambering over rocks, so please take extra care – especially in wet conditions. It is not recommended for visitors with mobility concerns, or those with prams and young children.
