Not a mythical place

 

Finding a fascinating place in this amazing world we live in happens to me with some regularity, partly because I'm a curious person.  I don't remember where I discovered that this place exists, but I'm glad I did.

The place is St. Nectan's Waterfall, located in the peninsula of Cornwall, and very adjacent to Tintagel, which has a legendary connection to King Arthur's Camelot.  It's also close to Merlin's Cave, right near Tintagel.  (I have to note the interesting place names down the coast from Tintagel;  Tregatta, Treknow, Trebarwith, and Treligga.)  

Like I do with lighthouses, here's a locator map

It's powerfully photogenic;  the waterfall descends a slope behind a small natural bridge (actually, more like a natural window).   I'm providing a couple of pictures and a video.
