The Cornish village of Tintagel is famed for the romantic ruins of Tintagel Castle, but there is another historic site in the village that deserves attention. The Old Post Office is a traditional 14th-century house built for a yeoman farmer. Its most obvious feature is an undulating roof of slate tiles with a profile that looks rather like waves on the sea.

Wheal Peevor was first mined in the 18th century but what we see today are the remarkably complete ruins of a 19th-century tin mine with three engine houses. Peevor mined extremely rich veins of 4% tin ore, but its heyday lasted only from 1872-1889. Now the mine site has been preserved with a network of trails and interpretive panels.
