This can be found in the ruins of the castle up behind the tourist block. It requires a climb up the hill and this section can be accessed for free.

Although many think of this kingly statue as representing King Arthur, it is in fact a representation of all of Tintagel's royal history. The bronze sculpture is called Gallos ('Power' in Cornish) and was created by artist Rubin Eynon. It's an impressive work, standing at 8 feet (2.4 m) in height and provides a superb foreground to the ocean views.
