Arthur was Cornish?
Who knew Arthur of round table fame was Cornish by birth? Not me! I thought he was Welsh. But Cornish - Welsh - it seems they are very much related.

T he love story of King Mark, and Tristan and Iseult are also linked with Tintagel and are thought to have played a part in how Richard laid out his castle. If you are into history, mythology, and just cool stuff this is a great plac e to go, and indeed many a tourist where there the day I was there. The morning was a well planned excursion. I could use my English Heritage membership both for entry and for the car-parking. Awesome!. I picked the time to arrive when their website said they were not too busy. I knew how long it would take to drive there and so left right on time. It was a windy and slightly wet day ...
