The Beaches of North Cornwall - N27 - Merlin's Cove
This map is part of the Ordnance Survey's Explorer series designed to replace the old Pathfinder map series. At 1:25,000 scale this detailed map shows a host of attractions including gardens which are open to the public, nature reserves and country parks as well as all official footpaths, bridleways, roads and lanes. Other facilities covered include: camping and caravan sites, picnic areas and viewpoints, selected places of interest, rights of way information for England and Wales, National Trail and Recreational Path routes, and selected tourist information. The series is aimed mainly at the experienced map user but can be used by tourists and locals alike. Location: North Coast - Tintagel
A tiny beach of sand and pebbles nestling below Tintagel Castle. There is no beach at high tide and only a small amount of dark sand at low tide. Access can be difficult. The beach is watered on its northeastern side by a twin waterfall tumbling down from the village about 500m inland. From the English Heritage owned Castle entrance it is possible to see the opening of Merlin's Cave and the remedial work required to protect these highly fractured cliffs. To the right of the beach lies the low bulbous headland of Barras Nose with fine cliff walks northeast to Trevalga and Boscastle.
