ACCESS CHARITABLE AIMS The island courtyard of Tintagel Castle Recent investment in Tintagel Castle’s is just under half a mile from the facilities has produced an increase in the entrance to the site on the Tintagel number of visitors to the site. A new High Street. There are several potential bridge could further encourage visitors routes to the island, but all involve to this part of Cornwall, cementing steps and the final ascent includes a Tintagel Castle’s position as one of steep, narrow winding staircase which Cornwall’s most popular places. As an presents a physical challenge for many independent charity, it is vital for English visitors. This route prevents some older Heritage to encourage people to visit visitors, young families and physically and enjoy places like Tintagel Castle, in disabled people from visiting the island order to help with our mission of caring at all. Our research suggests that access for our heritage.
