What is recorded here
Tintagel Castle Summer 2004 is a castle, fort or tower in Cornwall, England. Perhaps the castle walls still hold the heat of that summer, warming the stones until they glow like embers at dusk. Maybe the sea wind carried voices from the cliff edge, whispering names no one living remembers. Imagine a child pressing a palm to the rough rock, feeling the pulse of every hand that touched it before.
