Merlin's Tintagel Haunting
Tintagel Castle, Tintagel
Tintagel Castle, perched dramatically on Cornwall's rugged coast, is famously known as the birthplace of King Arthur. But few people realise that this ancient fortress also holds a special place in the legend of Merlin, Arthur's trusted advisor. The cave beneath the castle is said to have been Merlin's home, and it's here that his spirit is believed to linger. One witness reported seeing a ghostly horseman, whom they promptly identified as King Arthur himself. It's a testament to the enduring power of these ancient legends that they continue to captivate us to this day.
