Situated on the Atlantic coast, the cove at Crackington Haven is surrounded by spectacular cliffs and has a geological phenomena named after it; The Crackington Formation - a fractured shale that has been bent and contorted by the earth's movements millions of years ago. One mile south of Crackington is 'High Cliff', Cornwall's highest cliff standing 735 feet (223 metres) high.
The ruins of Tintagel Castle on the north coast of Cornwall are to be found on a rocky outcrop that can be accessed from the mainland by a spectacular footbridge. The castle is a popular Cornish tourist destination and is steeped in the legend of King Arthur and his knights.
