National Trust - Tintagel Old Post Office — Attraction in Tintagel

If you're going to Tintagel anyway and it's a nice day then the post office does have a lovely garden to sit and eat an ice cream in (they don't sell ice creams but you can take food in from other amenities). Don't make a special visit though. I understand it is a very old building and they're therefore limited with what they can do, but having exhibit information in brown envelopes and folders is impractical and unappealing for visitors. It may as well not be there. We only went because we were in Tintagel for a walk, lunch snd ice cream anyway, but the 4 kids (3-7) were very disappointed they didn't have the Easter trail they had been promised.

By entering it the visitors is plunges in the past, the eyes captured by the interiors and many objects in it. Charming and beautiful, it's definitely worth a visit. The ancient little Post Office inside della lovely and...

A nice old cottage with lots of history. The staff were very friendly, helpful and informative. It's not a large site so you won't be here for more than half an hour or so. It is in the middle of the village so not out of the way. If you are visiting Tintagel then it will be worthwhile to add to your itinery but I wouldn't travel a long way just to visit as it would probably take longer to travel than the time spent inside.

The garden is very pretty. There is parking nearby in the village and they wrap up second hand books with nice descriptions on labels to buy for just £1. Children books also. That...
