Tintagel Castle - the home of the legendary king's inception - is one of several sites at risk of being lost forever, English Heritage has warned, as rising seas pound the coastline.
Mr Woodside added:"Rising sea levels and more regular storms pose a real risk to the future of many of our sites."Advertisement
His mythological account of the history of the kings of Britain, Historia Regum Britanniae, cemented Tintagel's place in the national imagination. English Heritage said the site has always battled with erosion, with parts of the castle already falling into the sea by the 14th century. Hurst Castle in Hampshire, an artillery fortress built by Henry VIII, saw a huge section of the 18th-century east wing collapse in February 2021 after the sea undercut its foundations.
