By car
Car parking takes coins or can be paid via an app. Shopkeepers are reluctant to give change for parking, so it's recommended to have some ready before arrival.

The main car park is next to the Tintagel Visitor Centre though there is another car park opposite The Olive Garden which charges £3 for all-day parking.
