TK as I remember there aren't any of those red squares on the signs at Tintagel castle, they seem to have played it right down there....

This is what they say about the history of Tintagel castle on the EH website.

"Joined to the mainland by a narrow neck of land, Tintagel Island faces the full force of the Atlantic. On the mainland itself, the gaunt remains of the medieval castle represent only one phase in a long history of occupation. Even before Richard, Earl of Cornwall, built his castle in 1233, Tintagel was already associated in legend with the conception of King Arthur by Uther Pendragon, the result of his seduction of Queen Igraine. Indeed Richard's castle was probably deliberately built to reinforce his connections with Arthur and the ancient rulers of Cornwall. This Arthurian connection was later renewed by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, in his Victorian 'Idylls of the King'.
After a period as a Roman settlement and military outpost, Tintagel became a trading settlement of Celtic kings of Cornwall during the 5th and 6th centuries. Legend has it that one of these was King Mark, whose nephew Tristan fell in love with Yseult (or Isolde). Their doomed romance is part of Tintagel's story.

The remains of the 13th century castle are breathtaking. Steep stone steps, stout walls and rugged windswept cliff edges encircle the great hall, where Richard, Earl of Cornwall, once feasted.

There are many myths and unanswered questions surrounding Tintagel. The site has an amazing capacity to surprise us, even after years of investigation. In 1998, excavations were undertaken under the direction of Professor Chris Morris of the University of Glasgow, on a relatively sheltered and small site on the eastern side of the island, first excavated in the 1930s. High-status imported Mediterranean pottery of the 5th and 6th centuries was found, as well as some fragments of fine glass believed to be from 6th or 7th century Málaga in Spain. Even more remarkable was a 1,500 year-old piece of slate on which remained two Latin inscriptions. The second inscription reads: 'Artognou, father of a descendant of Coll, has had (this) made.' Who exactly Artognou was continues to be the subject of lively speculation."

They have got an inappropriate photo on there site here

You will also notice that the King Arthur's tales in the Watson "Hear tall tales of adventurous exploits and ferocious battles as King Arthur and his trusted Merlin recall old friends and foes of Medieval England."

THERE IS NO ENGLISH HERITAGE IN WALES! THERE SHOULD BE NO ENGLISH HERITAGE IN CORNWALL!

Also the Enjoy England plaques that are all about, this needs changing too, they only serve to confuse people!

Look at this Truro tourist info here

Yes, shaz, the extent of on-line 'Enjoy England' Anglo-Imperialist graffiti is truly extraordinary.

You are correct about English Heritage physical graffiti at Tintagel Castle. However, the words are there and the English Heritage Anglo-Imperialist logo graffiti is liberally splashed around all their publications relating to Tintagel Castle and all the other CORNISH ancient monuments they presumptively and unconstitutionally claim jurisdiction and 'stewardship' over.

TK truth is too many tourist providers know that Cornwall is not England, too many tourists know that Cornwall is not England, EH etc is out dated, it cannot work in the present climate its time to Change!

Even National Trust employees on Twitter are making ref to the Tamar border.

Ah, but the 'National Trust' does operate in Wales (as in Northern Ireland, and obviously England & Cornwall) - but it doesn't operate in Scotland, where it has the "National Trust for Scotland".

Which only begs the question, what kind of 'nation' does the National Trust of "England, Wales & Northern Ireland", as it describes itself, think that 'National' part of its name relates to? Any random nation it locally happens to pertain to while not being centrally administered there? Or does it wrongly refer to the UK (minus Scotland) as a 'natio'? Uch...

It's a real pet hate of mine to hear the UK spoken of as a 'nation'.

The UK is a state. Britain is an island. The adjective 'British' is convenient in refering to the 'citizenship' of that state or possibly of nationalitIES (of the English, Welsh, Scottish and indeed Cornish) based on that island - but it is not descriptive of a nationality in itself - as David Starkey argued, in response to a New Labour programme for the English 'National' Curriculum to promote a sense of nationality among children educated there, that it is impossible to teach Britishness because "a British nation doesn't exist." (Presumably from Starkey's perspective, teaching 'Englishness' would have been perfectly plausible - and why not in an English curriculum - albeit one which then problematically intrudes upon Cornwall.

I would have to suppose that when TV presenters like Graham Norton (as an Irishman) bizarrely refers to 'the nation' at Eurovision - he's talking about England?? There's certainly no such thing as a British Nation in the singular, although the term 'British Nations' in the plural could be correct...(?)

[rhywun-arall]

Sorry, and I know I'm labouring the obvious here, I should also have added - you could also call the UK a union or more specifically; a kingdom - although that being the case, we're technically subjects of that kingdom's monarch - the term citizen is a far looser, and more civic term, since we're also 'citizens' of our local municipalities.

Good point Rhywun! I have quite few a social media friends who work for the NT some good caring people, unfortunately we have had some serious problems with the NT here

My first suggestion regarding changes to the National Trust would be to do away with this here would make much sense not to encourage a Devonwall.

TK do you want your ball back, feel at bit like I ran off with it ...catch

The other day I was in my old stamping ground of Pool and noticed a sign put up on the ''Heartlands project'' by the r[d]egeneration people describing the site as in ''England''.

[Anselm]

Are you the Captain Black who came riding up on his white steed, asking what is your name and your number, and where do you mean to proceed?

[Captain Black]

No

[Marhak]

I"M the guy on the white steed. Anyone else is an imposter!
