And amidst this captivating landscape, it&#8217;s the ancient monuments, cliff-top castles and smugglers&#8217; caves that are the atmospheric inspiration behind centuries of folklore. As you travel through England&#8217;s southernmost county, seek out the very places that have inspired these historic tales, and gain an insight into local life along the way.<\/p>\n<p>As one of England&#8217;s legendary characters, King Arthur has been portrayed in countless stories, many of which are set in Cornwall. One particular location that&#8217;s associated with the former British ruler is the charismatic Tintagel Island, a rugged peninsula adjoined to the mainland by a towering bridge, with steep steps leading across the jagged rocks.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/02\/Tintagel_iStock_SusanDaniels_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Landscapes of Cornwall\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Tintagel_iStock_SusanDaniels_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Tintagel_iStock_SusanDaniels_www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Tintagel_iStock_SusanDaniels_www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Tintagel_iStock_SusanDaniels_www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Tintagel_iStock_SusanDaniels_www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Tintagel_iStock_SusanDaniels_www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The medieval monument Tintagel Castle sits within this cut off piece of land, across from a village of the same name. With its dramatic cliff-top setting overlooking the Atlantic, it&#8217;s no surprise the medieval site has long inspired those who travel there.<\/p>\n<p>It was as far back as the 12<sup>th<\/sup> century when Welsh cleric Geoffrey of Monmouth named Tintagel the place King Arthur was conceived, and it was in the 1230s when Richard, Earl of Cornwall, is said to have built the castle. Now the island&#8217;s ancient ruins give a clear insight into Tintagel&#8217;s long history and the stories that are deeply rooted into local folklore. Sheltered by Tintagel Island and the surrounding cliffs, clear water laps against secluded sandy shores where the rocky surroundings reveal rock pools to peer into and the atmospheric cavern, Merlin&#8217;s Cave.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/02\/BodminMoor_iStock_blisken_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Landscapes of Cornwall\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/BodminMoor_iStock_blisken_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/BodminMoor_iStock_blisken_www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/BodminMoor_iStock_blisken_www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/BodminMoor_iStock_blisken_www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/BodminMoor_iStock_blisken_www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/BodminMoor_iStock_blisken_www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Tintagel isn&#8217;t the only Cornish site that&#8217;s linked to the legendary king; there are also tales based around the 17,000-acre <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bodminmoor.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bodmin Moor<\/a>. These vast and sweeping moors are distinguished by towering granite rock formations known as tors, which are dotted throughout the land. Secluded marshland, woodland and river valleys have long provided the inspiration for literary tales, and have also led to Bodmin Moor&#8217;s designation as an Area of Outstanding Beauty.<\/p>\n<p>Trefranck Farm overlooks the famous moor, and having been run by the same family since 1703, is now open to visitors who want to experience local life while discovering a little of the farm&#8217;s rich history. But aside from its heritage, the farm is very much up to speed with the present day; the working sheep farm now has a tearoom, visitor centre and cottages for guests to stay in, while the historic Rosehip Barn is used as a venue. On the farm guests can tuck into typical Cornish fare like warm Cornish pasties, and fresh scones with clotted cream and homemade jam.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/02\/Polperro1_iStock_acceleratorhams_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Landscapes of Cornwall\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Polperro1_iStock_acceleratorhams_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Polperro1_iStock_acceleratorhams_www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Polperro1_iStock_acceleratorhams_www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Polperro1_iStock_acceleratorhams_www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Polperro1_iStock_acceleratorhams_www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Polperro1_iStock_acceleratorhams_www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Along with its intriguing medieval history, Cornwall is the setting for countless smugglers tales, stemming from its history in trade, with a network of caves hidden within the coastline&#8217;s rugged cliffs. The village of Polperro is central to many of these stories, with a history of smuggling that dates back to the 12<sup>th<\/sup> century. Now, the village and port is home to the Polperro Heritage Museum of Fishing and Smuggling, with many coastal walks to set out on from there.<\/p>\n<p>Before crossing back over Cornwall&#8217;s borders, take a diversion to the small tidal island of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stmichaelsmount.co.uk\/\">St Michael&#8217;s Mount<\/a>, which sits within Mount&#8217;s Bay. At low tide the mount can be reached by walking along a pathway connecting it to the mainland, but at high tide, when this pathway is underwater, a boat needs to be taken. Once there, visitors can climb up to the castle and get lost within its walls, and wander through the castle&#8217;s cliff-side gardens.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/02\/StMichaelsMount_iStock_SimonBradfield_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Landscapes of Cornwall\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/StMichaelsMount_iStock_SimonBradfield_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/StMichaelsMount_iStock_SimonBradfield_www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/StMichaelsMount_iStock_SimonBradfield_www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/StMichaelsMount_iStock_SimonBradfield_www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/StMichaelsMount_iStock_SimonBradfield_www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/StMichaelsMount_iStock_SimonBradfield_www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Visit these sites in Cornwall on<\/em> <em>the <\/em><em>Best of Devon and Cornwall<\/em><em>, <\/em><em>Best of Britain<\/em><em>, <\/em><em>Britain and Ireland Panorama<\/em><em>, and <\/em><em>Britain and Ireland Grandeur<\/em><em> trips with Trafalgar.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Image credits: Cover image of\u00a0Mullion Cove \u00a9 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.istockphoto.com\/photo\/mullion-cove-cornwall-gm164025122-23359733\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">iStock \/ Ian Woolcock<\/a>.\u00a0Tintagel \u00a9 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.istockphoto.com\/photo\/tintagel-cornwall-gm489175894-74571927\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">iStock \/ Susan Daniels<\/a>.
