Tintagel

TINTAGEL  () , pop 209, was a railway and LOGGING settlement 12 km east of BURNS LAKE on the CNR. The first homesteaders arrived in about 1915. It was named after the castle in Cornwall where King Arthur was supposedly born; in 1967 Britain's Ministry of Works sent a 45-kg stone from the castle as a Canadian centennial gift to BC. It was installed here in a roadside cairn.
