10St. Nectan’s Glen, Cornwall

Tucked away in the Cornish countryside near Tintagel, St. Nectan’s Glen is a mystical woodland that feels lifted from a fairytale.
At its heart lies a 60-foot waterfall cascading through a rock arch into a tranquil pool. The glen has long been associated with legends of King Arthur and spiritual pilgrimages, giving it an aura of enchantment. Visitors often leave ribbons, crystals, and tokens of wishes tied to trees, adding to the magical atmosphere. Far from the beaches that draw crowds to Cornwall, this sacred spot offers serenity and reflection.
