Funny Rh. posting this and the Heritage England online threads, we joined EH (all one big happy organisation then of course) at Tintagel on our one and only visit there in 2000. I liked the castle very much, but the village was already on the slippery slope: King Arthur's Carpark, Lancelot's Chipshop, Guinevere's Public Toilets, etc.
I am despairing of our EH membership more and more each year we have to pay the hefty renewal, especially since the split into two last year. I keep meaning to change to CADW instead as we really only use the membership to visit Welsh castles now anyway. But I'm still clinging on for that maybe-one-day trip to Stonehenge early in the morning.
But I'd much rather pay my money to the Historic England bit not the English Heritage bit now, if that was an option. But that's like demanding my taxes be spent on the NHS not Trident i.e. never going to happen.
Still, I'd be happy with a Tintagel snowglobe I imagine.
