If you've ever dreamed of standing where myths were born, where the sea howls like a war cry and the wind tells stories older than time, then welcome to Tintagel Castle. Perched on the rugged cliffs of North Cornwall, this windswept ruin has long been wrapped in legend—chief among them: the birth of King Arthur.

There’s something undeniably magical about arriving in Victoria, the capital of British Columbia. Maybe it’s the way flowers spill from every hanging basket downtown, or how the harbor always seems to hold a parade of seaplanes, ferries, and sailboats. Or maybe it’s the quiet British charm that lingers in the tea rooms, bookstores, and gardens. Whatever it is—Victoria feels like a story you’ve walked into.
