EDITORS COMMENTS
Tintagel Castle, nestled on the rugged cliffs of Cornwall, England, is a legendary fortress steeped in history and mystery. This photograph, taken by Nigel Corrie for Historic England (K980812), showcases the entrance to the inner ward, a gateway to the heart of this enigmatic castle. The castle, perched precariously on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, has long been associated with the legend of King Arthur. According to the tales, Tintagel was the place of Arthur's conception, born of a union between the legendary king and the sorceress Igerna. The castle's dramatic location, with its crashing waves and towering cliffs, only adds to the allure of this mythical past. The entrance, with its worn and weathered stone, speaks of the countless feet that have passed through it over the centuries. The door, though closed, invites the imagination to ponder the stories of knights, kings, and queens that once walked these halls. The sea, ever present and powerful, serves as a constant reminder of the castle's isolation and the challenges faced by those who once called it home. The cliffs, eroded by the relentless action of the sea, offer a stark contrast to the solidity of the castle walls. The legend of Tintagel Castle continues to draw visitors from around the world, who come to explore its history, mythology, and breathtaking beauty.
