Legend claims this to be the final resting place of several people, amongst them Cador, a 6th century King of Cornwall and one of Arthur's knights, "Arthur's sword bearer at his coronation and a caretaker of Guinevere"; and Queen Isolde, although it is no doubt thousands of years older.
The views from here are probably splendid on a good day, but the hilltop was in the clouds when I visited.
