Altre informazioni

Waterfall on the Trevillitt river in St Nectan's Glen, nr Tintagel, has worn away a 20ft deep basin or kieve. St Nectan is said to have built a small Christian sanctuary above the falls around 500AD and hung a silver bell in a tower to warn sailors of submerged rocks. He is also said to have thrown his bell into the kieve, and to have been buried beneath the river in an oak chest at the foot of the falls. The shrine and falls have been visited by pilgrims and tourists, including the Victorian writer Wilkie Collins, since the sixth century. A legendary assembly point for King Arthur's knights on their Grail Quest.
