Where Tristan And Isolde Hid In Plain Sight
It is no surprise that Roche Rock in Cornwall in the United Kingdom is
associated with a number of famous folktales. It is said that Triston
and Isolde hid here when their love had been discovered by Isolde's
husband, King Mark. Yet others have fled here from far more frightening
enemies than a cuckolded king.
Atop
Roche Rock
lies the eerie remains of a chapel, dedicated to Saint Michael. The
rock, even without the ruins, looks out of place, jutting unexpectedly
out of the Cornish landscape. The chapel was built in 1409 and abandoned
some centuries afterwards.
