Tintagel is steeped in Arthurian legend. It is believed to have been the birthplace in the late fifth century of King Arthur himself. Some of King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table are reputed to have been buried in the Bossiney Mound situated close to the Bossiney House Hotel. Merlin the Magician and King Uther Pendragon were also closely associated with Tintagel which has also been used as a setting for the Arthurian legend in the writings of Tennyson and Hardy. This is an area of many myths and legends focused around King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, and also upon the spiritual and supernatural happenings reported in medieval literature, including the legend of Sir Galahad and the Quest for the Holy Grail. Bossiney itself has a well-documented history. This ancient community was once of significant importance in the region. Bronze age settlements were a feature of this beautiful and rugged landscape. Bossiney evolved into a garrison settlement and by the sixth century AD had its own mott and bailey fortress which is located opposite the Bossiney House Hotel. The area was once owned by the Black Knight and later became one of the notorious "rotten boroughs" that sent two members of Parliament to London whilst oftentime having only twelve qualified voters. One of these members of Parliament was the famed Sir Francis Drake, who made his inaugural speech from the top of Bossiney Mound. Bristol merchants brought their slaves for sale at Bossiney. Today, Bossiney is a charming, sleepy hamlet on the outskirts of Tintagel with wonderful views, fabulous cliff walks, a beautiful beach, and ideally placed to visit many attractions. A few minutes walk from Tintagel Castle, Merlin's Cave, St Nectan's Glen with its impressive waterfall, and labrynth carvings at the ruined mill in Rocky Valley, all beckon and are well worth exploring.
