English Heritage brings together its two great lifelong loves: history and design. Everyday wandering, market strolls, or history-laden adventures will be accompanied by this durable, yet soft, tote bag to ensure that the journey remains a joyful and well-organised escapade. Our tote bag, a piece of portable history, becomes a practical extension of Tintagel.
Inspired by the legend of King Arthur, historic kings and the rich royal history of Tintagel, this tote bag features the Gallos statue standing tall and shrouded in mystery.Â
Medieval writers, perhaps inspired by a memory of this ancient Cornish citadel, used Tintagel as the setting for legends of kings and heroes: the stories of King Arthur and the wizard Merlin, King Mark and the lovers Tristan and Iseult. In the 13th century, probably influenced by these tales, Richard, Earl of Cornwall, built a castle here. Although large sections of it have now collapsed into the sea, the battlemented stone walls, courtyards and ruined buildings from this castle can still be seen across the site.
