So Cornwall again, and the beautiful ridiculous of Tintagel Castle.
At the top back, is the upper yard which had housing/accommodation. Then you come down to the lower yard with the entrance, stables etc which led across to the Great Hall. Well it did, before that bit fell into the sea. The side of the upper yard did too. (Why would any build a castle in such a precarious position? )
The story, for those that do, goes back to one Geoffrey of Monmouth who wrote a book in which he present Tintagel Castle as the birthplace of King Arthur. Then a century later, the Richard, Earl of Cornwall come along and built the castle. He was the younger the brother of one of the King Henries, III I think, and wanted to tie himself or his family to the history/mythology of the area. (Tintagel is also the castle of King Mark from Tristan & Isolde, it was rather busy.) I don't believe anyone else lived there after Richard, other than caretakers. A century later, it was already ruinous. It's basically a giant folly.
Even so, you'd think the earl could have found somewhere slightly more stable to build. (I wonder if the builders objected?)

#StandingStoneSunday Tintagel Castle is a medieval fortification located on the peninsula of Tintagel Island adjacent to the village of #Tintagel, North #Cornwall. The site has been inhabited at least since the late Roman period, and a community flourished here in the 5th to 7th centuries. In the 12th century Tintagel gained literary fame when Geoffrey of Monmouth named it as the place where King Arthur was conceived. #UK

This was more ambitious than the first one and I'm proud of it.
There is also a third field trip, filmed in Glastonbury, but I may not be able to upload it due to the agreement I made with Glastonbury Abbey! DM me if you want to see it.

For #ThrowbackThursday here's the first bit of #TravelPhotography I ever did with my (now) wife. This was from 1996 when we'd only been going out a few months, and to celebrate her birthday and divorce being finalised we headed to #Clovelly in #Devon to use it as a base for exploring the #WestCountry for a long weekend. Pictured here are our Clovelly hotel location, a view of St Michael's Mount, #Tintagel, and #Boscastle.

This is from the sea cliffs around #Tintagel in #England , the fabled seat of #KingArthur and his wizard #Merlin. You can see a bit of the ruins at the bottom of the hill, right at the end of the rainbow. #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotogaphy
