Tintagel Old Post Office

Enjoy a scenic walk at Barras Nose, a headland at Tintagel, in the lee of the towering Tintagel Island and Castle ruins linked to the legends of King Arthur.

Plunge into this amazing rocky gorge-like valley to follow a tumbling stream to the sea.

You can stay just a stone's throw from the harbour at cottages full of individual character or, if you prefer somewhere a little more off the beaten track, Elm Cottage might be the perfect place to stay.

No overnight camping or parking is allowed at the places we care for. More information on why we don’t permit visitors to stay overnight at our car parks can be found here.

Tintagel Old Post Office and North Cornwall National Trust will be grateful for volunteer support when things reopen. If you are interested in volunteering, please keep checking for future opportunities.

Many visitors have fond memories of their visit to North Cornwall and Tintagel Old Post Office. Dedicate a donation to someone special or mark a momentous occasion and help look after this ancient abode for future generations to enjoy.

As we gradually and safely open more of the places we care for, there’ll be more opportunities to explore gardens and parklands near you. If you’re a member, you can access all these places free, together with most National Trust car parks. It’s so important for everyone to have fresh air, birdsong, big skies and open spaces to enjoy. Your membership will go towards looking after all of this for generations to come.

Our natural world and places of historic beauty are at serious risk. Give today and together, we can help nature recover, bring people closer to it, and ensure our shared history continues to inspire us all. Thank you for your continued support.
