Bossiney

Bossiney is situated on one of the most romantic stretches of a truly awe-inspiring coastline, much of which is now preserved by the National Trust. Legend gives Bossiney Mound a fascinating niche in the Arthurian story. According to Cornish tradition, beneath the mount lies Arthur’s Round Table. If Arthur ever returns, a legend says that the table will rise from the mound to accommodate him and his knights once more.

Reached by a short signposted footpath from the village, Bossiney Haven is a beautiful, sheltered beach surrounded by a semi circle of cliffs. The beach is still relatively quiet compared to much of the surrounding area, as people tend to completely miss it as they go from Tintagel to Boscastle although it is overlooked by a hotel and small campsite.
