Tintagel Castle is a spectacular 12th century stone enclosure fortress - the present building was built by Reginald, Earl of Cornwall in the 13th Century. The mainland entrance is through the lower outer bailey, with a narrow entrance passage, gate tower, curtain wall and wide ditch, protected by the walled upper outer bailey. The inner bailey stands on the headland, now sometimes called an island - sadly the repeated rock-falls have only left us a 13th century curtain wall, a plain gateway and the ruinous 14th century hall block, founded by Richard a later earl. The remains of a monastery can also be seen
