One or Two Day Pilgrimage to Tintagel and St Nectan’s Glen

The town of Tintagel lies in a mystical and enchanting landscape situated on the rugged Cornish coast. It a place of myth, legends and beauty, where the land and ocean meet, where the Arthurian legends come alive, where nature spirits dance wildly, and where you can feel the presence of the ancient Mother Goddess.

Tintagel

The area around Tintagel is a sacred landscape that had much spiritual significance for the ancestors. During neolithic times, Cornwall was famous for its stone circles, standing stones, long barrows and burial tombs – all places where the Mother Goddess was honoured. Tintagel is a natural sacred site – a powerful place of worship for many.

Over the years it has had many incarnations, the most famous being its connection to the Arthurian legend, where it is said to be the birthplace of King Arthur. Today it is home to Tintagel Castle and below it there is Merlin’s cave – a 330ft long sea cave that is open at both ends. Seawaters drawn in by the Moon flow in at high tide and empty out at low tide. It is a portal – a powerful place where you can feel the wildness of the land and ocean meeting.

St Nectan’s Glen

Nearby lies St Nectan’s Glen, which is a magical and enchanting glen where the waters flow over moss covered pebbles. It is a sanctuary – a sacred place of healing. Here there is beautiful 60ft waterfall surrounded by ivy, ferns and oaks. It is home to the Fae and you can feel many magical beings there. It has been a sacred site for many thousands of years and was named after St Nectan, a 5th- 6th century hermit who lived above the waterfall in a chapel. It is also connected to the Arthurian legends where they say knights would be blessed before seeking the Holy Grail.
