Condolden Barrow
Condolden Barrow submitted by thecaptain : Legend claims this to be the final resting place of Cador, a 6th century King of Cornwall and one of Arthur's knights. Viewed here from the east (Vote or comment on this photo)
High on the hilltop inland to the southeast of Tintagel, this large bowl barrow is 26 metres in diameter, and almost 3 metres high, with an OS trig point standing on the top.

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.

If you turn to the right of the barrow there is a blue car that looks like it's been rolled
