A part of our holiday we have always looked forward to was our stay in Camelot Castle. It has certainly not disappointed us. That's our room at the end on the left, third storey windows, partly obscured by the ramparts. Because we are on the end we also have a window on the south side, with a view of the moors as well as the Atlantic.
That's the view out our front window, the day the sun shone. The original Tintagel castle was a fortress for the ancient Cornish Kings. Local folk lore links it to King Arthur. Camelot Castle is close to the ruins of the old castle and has aligned itself to the legends of the area. It even has a magnificent round table.
While we were staying there the owners were updating their promo video. Graham managed to get himself interviewed (our Antipodean friends), and we enjoyed watching them release balloons and, later on, an excellent fireworks display.
The owners are scientologists, which explains why Tom Cruise has been to stay. The castle is gorgeous, and the King Arthur's Arms just down the road is a pretty good place for a pint and a pie too!
