St Nectans Glen Trethevy Tintagel

St Nectan's Glen woodlands and waterfalls at Trethevy Tintagel PL34 0BG has been called one of the most sacred sites in Britain; it is certainly a nice place for a long day out  At the top of the glen are a series of three waterfalls below the site of a hermitage established by the 6th century Celtic saint Nectan. The hermitage and waterfalls can only be reached on foot after a mile long walk beside the River Trevillet looks more like a Stream than a river. The walk is easyish with one or two spots that could be a bit testing to the more elderly plus it does involve a walk from any of the car parks
Personally this place was not for me the walk back to Tintagel along the coastline was harder but much more enjoyable.
