. Warwick Castle
Juxtaposed to Tintagel Castle and it’s ruins, Warwick Castle is a beautiful castle still in pristine condition that sits much further to the Northeast in Warwick England. Warwick Castle is actually a replica built of the original Warwick Castle, which was erected by William the Conqueror in 1068. Though Warwick Castle (the original) is very loosely associated with King Arthur, it gives tourist and adventure seekers the chance to live like knights for a day. There is something for everyone at Warwick Castle, and it’s a great place for the kids as well. Not so much for deep Arthurian legend lovers, but a great place to kick back and live like a tourist for a bit!
Five castles associated with King Arthur and Arthurian Legend
St Nectan’s Glen, Trethevy
If it’s natural beauty you’re looking for, then a trip to St Nectan’s Glen is a must. Under an hour from several of our holiday parks in Cornwall, St Nectan’s Glen is home to magnificent waterfalls, wonderful walks and a variety of woodland wildlife.
The glen also has a historic and mysterious past, and there are many myths surrounding this beautiful area. It’s believed that when King Arthur’s knights set out to find the Holy Grail, they would have bathed in the Glen’s waters in preparation for their spiritual journey.

The Fleet was built on an island formed by the Fleet River and ditches and by the fourteenth century these ditches were full of foul, stagnant water. In its early years the Fleet was used for those in contempt of the Royal Courts

Crystal Watson, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security: With few exceptions, now is the time to cancel get-togethers. Dating, family visits, house parties, should all be postponed or held virtually if possible. There are personal situations where you must go out for work, for supplies, or to help someone else in need. In those cases, take precautions to keep your distance from others, and wash your hands frequently. If you develop a fever or cough, don’t go out unless it is absolutely necessary or to seek medical care.

I have not used any of these but looked up some sites on line and these look interesting and they are presented only as examples what you might find on your own —alway be careful about giving info online and signing up for anything.
