Salutations

Holiday Cottages, Tintagel

Things to see and do:

 Tintagel is ideally situated to use as a base for exploring Cornwall and North Devon, or as a place to stay and relax, enjoying the scenery and local hospitality. Come and unwind!

Discover the myth of King Arthur for yourselves, visit the Castle and the Halls of Chivalry.

The inspiring  Norman parish church of St Materiana stands alone on the cliffs awaiting your visit .  Inside:  see the Roman milestone (AD250), the Norman font, a rood screen 1500 and 3 Norman windows

We are situated about 300m from the high street, within easy walking distance of the village pubs, cafes and restaurants, but away from the hubbub.

Close by are the glorious sandy beaches of Trebarwith Strand, Daymer Bay and Bude.  

A stroll, south along the coast path, past the still-visible relics of the local slate quarrying industry and have a drink at the Port William Pub overlooking the sea at Trebarwith Strand, before walking home.

Pony trekking, golf, sea and coarse fishing are some of the other activities available locally.

A short stroll from ‘Salutations’ brings you to the Coastal Path – inspirational and spectacular views.

6 miles inland is Bodmin Moor, again offering wonderful walks, megalithic stone circles and a harsh beauty. Visit Daphne Du Maurier’s Jamaica Inn.

Padstow to the south is well worth a visit, as is the picturesque fishing village of Port Isaac.

Why not walk or cycle the Camel Trail? A disused railway line following the River Camel from Bodmin to the coast at Padstow. 17 miles through wooded valley to the broad expanse of the sandy estuary near Padstow.

There are many gardens an easy drive away including the ‘Lost Gardens of Heligan’ and the National Trust gardens at Lanhydrock. The internationally acclaimed ‘Eden Project’ is also a must-see.
