This is the ruins of the Tintagel Castle where King Arthur was supposed to have been born. It is way up on this rocky hill with very limited access. It over looks the sea and sticks out into the sea. We don't know if it was for defense or what but now the rock it sits on is accessible only by many, many steep stairs and bridge over the chasm. We were over on the hill that was connected to landand looking down on this ruins.
Terrell up on the ruins of an old wall around the castle. It looked down to the sea and to the stairs and other ruins. 
We walked down a steep path for a ways and then up along the side of the rocky hill to one side of the ruins. It was a beautiful sight and we wished we could have walked to more, but it was too steep and my knees wouldn't do it.
Along this coast we drove along very tiny roads so narrow one car could barely fit. If you came onto another car one had to back up until there was a little space to pull out. Some of the roads were way down deep, like in a ditch with grassy slopes up each side. There were fences along the roads like this made of rock pieces put together so they would stay for hundreds of years.This country has so many beautiful places to see!
