British To the heart It’s about ‘how’ not ‘who’ after all and I think anything that was created with care and efforts like this bridge deserves a recognition.
I am Brazilian and I really like learning about England's history and culture. Hopefully I will visit the bridge and see for myself how beautiful it is!
Thank you English Heritage because of all your videos it was my dream to visit the UK. Now, I studied hard and was accepted in a university in the UK. I am planning to visit more of the country to see its rich cultural history. Thank you for inspiring me.
Nanana Congratulations. I sounds like hard work paid off. I would recommend the travel guides by Rick Steves, who you are probably familiar with. He actually got into travel to begin with because he had visited and fallen in love with the Lake District when he was young. He has very thorough books, including traveling cheaply. Have fun! 🇬🇧
I appreciate that the placement of this bridge is much more Ada accessible. People in wheelchairs or people who have mobility struggles can much more easily access both sides of the historic site without having to climb up or down stairs. They can feel more included and not discouraged from experience all the history they can. I like that It's flush across.
The sites themselves are still not wheelchair accessible, and as they are historical landmarks, it's not very logical to try and make them so in most cases. Maybe some parts of a castle or other very old site could be made accessible with minor adjustments, and in those cases, it should absolutely be done. In my opinion, the best way of make a historical site like this accessible to those in wheelchairs, things like this which make the grounds around the property accessible are a good start. Would be cool to see Augmented Reality used to help people "see inside" historic sites from the outside. Also if complete video and audio tours were available, or historical reconstructions can be made which are accessible and even include reanactment. Lots of options, but unfortunately there are some things which are very hard to participate in when you are disabled. (Also, ADA doesn't apply in the UK, they have their own laws regarding accessiblity).
I'm so glad to see this is finished now. I had watched stories some years ago about what they're going to do. I'm glad now the people who physically couldn't have visited and enjoy the site before can now. Thank you so much English heritage.
Absolutely fabulous to watch this video! We were lucky enough to walk across this bridge a couple of days ago. Stunning views for miles! Highligh recommended
We are booked up to visit Tintagel Castle next week and was thinking those steps are going to a challenge, especially as I have the big C in my bones, but after seeing this I cant wait! Brilliant work!
... same. the red doesn't fit in nature and the handrail could be more medieval, doesn't fit to tintagel. it's new fashioned style in an old landscape. i don't like it...
I’ve never been a fan of detracting from historical sites, for convenience reasons. But, I’ve come to understand just how valuable it is for people with accessibility issues, to be given the opportunity to truly enjoy these places, too. I wish the bridge was a more natural color, to blend in better than the red, but again, I think it was well thought out. I think the slate component on the walkway itself was a fantastic idea, and shows the respect you took in building and designing it. Wonderful job!
I will never ever ever ever ever go across that bridge, I just cannot do it. Love the area, love living locally..but that bridge is a nemesis for a person like me that’s terrified of heights.
beautiful site and bridge. here in Italy we have Pompei and we let it crumble down while there in Great Britain there is care and attention for ancient ruins and people's heritage. I envy you!
Apart from the fact that you chose the wrong example, as currently in Pompei they are making awesome discoveries every month or so, usually in Italy we don't spoil archeological sites and fascinating landscapes by building modern stuff right in the middle of the panorama like they did here. Especially when there is no other apparent reason than to save a few dozens stairs to the visitors.
I am 48 years old. This bridge when I cross it next year will be the third type of crossing I will have made. You can see the old bridge put in place which was when I was about nine years old. Prior to that there was another way using steps in the stone. So for the past 40 years they have had to address the cliffs eroding. They will do something else when the cliffs erode again.

LOVE what English Heritage does. And her comes the but.... the color is working against the landscape. It should be painted to look like rock. It is a fantastic bridge though! Thank you!
My ancestors chose it for its inaccessibility and remoteness. Now it has a bright red bridge. They should add more shops selling fake swords and stories. I look forward to it’s fall.
I assume it's the AutoCAD animation laid over the video. There are other ways to do it, but the AutoCAD presumably already existed so it would be easiest.
Well done. I was affraid it was going to be something that doesn't fit to the scenery, an exhibition of modernism. But it blends in well. Good job! I hope some day I'll visit Tintagel again.
The main problem with steel bridge is that they stretch and contract greatly to changes in temperature for as much as a couple of centimeters. That also apply to the base they sat on. Welding the two halves would cause the steel to bend and buckle. Most steel bridges are made to roll or to have some spaces to move.
Thanks for your comments, the gap in the middle is just 4cm and is a striking part of the design. It is intended to represent the transition from the mainland to the island, and from the present to past. It also adds an extra thrill to the experience! We hope to see you at Tintagel soon.
@@pistachiobaklava1216 I probably deserve that.. I don't remember posting but I know I was drunk... I get really upset whenever I see old things replaced!

I wonder how Mrs. Crocombe feels knowing she took over this whole channel. I can’t be the only one who sprung here looking for her.
Erica Garcia me too, actually!😊
I confess that Mrs Crocombe inspires unseemly stirrings.

This was so beautiful. My late father would have loved this so much - he was an engineer with a deep love of history, and he especially loved bridges.
It's a beautiful bridge but I feel the red is very gaudy. A dark, subtle green or grey would have looked much nicer with the landscape.
I wholeheartedly agree! The red is quite distracting. does the red have significance? Maybe I missed something.
... same. the red doesn't fit in nature and the handrail could be more medieval, doesn't fit to tintagel.
it's new fashioned style in an old landscape.
i don't like it...
I made a similar comment as well, before seeing if others agreed. I think it’s the only aspect I dislike.
Probably to match the English Heritage logo.
Picky
I visited 7 years ago, it was spectacular then, now I have even more reason to go back.
Spectacular! English Heritage = life goals

Absolutely astonishing!
King Arthur's birth place gets a new bridge! Maybe now I can visit... Being a huge Arthur fanatic from the US, it's a dream of mine to see it.
He did not exist (bit like 'God'!) just a fictional character

Excelent , thank you make this bridge 👏
I was there on tuesday perfect🌞
Fantastic! How I wish I could walk across it. Thanks EH!🇬🇧🎃🌉🏰
Amazing. And it's a beautiful bridge. I really want to visit Tintagle...big Arthur buff...just from the US its quite a trip.
@Ber P. Aren't you just roses and sunshine...we don't complain about you sort coming here for a visit.
@@rachelcollins8158 You're welcome here. Ignore him. He is a disgrace.
Are we just not gonna talk about how his name is strawbridge and he’s talking about tintagel bridge?
@naomirhoja I know right! I thought I was the only one who noticed that. What a keen eye you have.
Louis XIV thank you, you too.
First thing I noticed as well. I have a love for unusual names. And this one is just on point 🙂
Practical and romantic. Well done.
Un puente hermoso, elegante y discreto, una obra de arte en si misma y que no resta presencia al castillo. muy bien!
I hope one day I can see the castle and bridge it would be amazing.
I love watching these videos on a 4K HD TV. The camera work and clarity of footage is stunning!
And to think that only a few months ago I was able to see this with a short walk.
This channel absolutely rocks !!! TYVM
That's the cove they use in Poldark. Its beautiful there.
Amazing work !!!
wow amazing bridge! Maybe I ll use it as an example for mastapiece of stainless steel bridges :) Thx for this informative upload!
ahhhhh i wanna go here! Thank u, English Heritage for the videos. I'm really interested in the English culture and history.
fantastic...just fantastic...
Breathtaking... Hoping to see it once myself. However, I do not think that more people means always better.
In tro vert
How beautiful
what happens when the cliffs continue eroding?
Very good question. I was hoping they’d address this in the video.

Heh heh...the name of the conservationist telling us about the bridge - is *Strawbridge.*
That is all, carry on. 😁

@@danip3270 - See: 'Escape To The Chateau'
Love it.
Big like 👍
Did they say how much the bridge cost?
A great design, but I hope you can still go up the old stairs as I am terrified of heights 😱
@5:30 Feel proud to have been on this job with American Bridge.
There was a bridge there already. Typically, the new bridge does not harmonise with the landscape.
Rev. James C but it does look pretty there. Though it’s modern, its simplicity doesn’t clash, I think.
It was a land bridge , did you watch the video ,?
gorgeous bridge!
Was this castle the inspiration for Pyke in ASOIAF?

Does anyone know the software used in 3:02 ? Or any software that makes an effect like that?

Great documentary piece, I'll pin this on my map for later
...boahh, cool 👣👣👣👣👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

To present EVERYTHING!
Why is there such a massive gap? Also, I LOVE a good slate sidewalk, I hate when people replace them with concrete here in America.
The main problem with steel bridge is that they stretch and contract greatly to changes in temperature for as much as a couple of centimeters. That also apply to the base they sat on. Welding the two halves would cause the steel to bend and buckle. Most steel bridges are made to roll or to have some spaces to move.
inisipisTV Thanks I was aware of that, but it is rather large. I wonder if it’s because it’s getting hotter there?
Thanks for your comments, the gap in the middle is just 4cm and is a striking part of the design. It is intended to represent the transition from the mainland to the island, and from the present to past. It also adds an extra thrill to the experience! We hope to see you at Tintagel soon.
It almost looks like an ancient rope bridge as you're crossing it.
Should have matched the terrain/castle, looks out of place.
Needs more cast iron
Is this accessible to wheelchair users?
Here after watching BBC Merlin👑
That's a whole lotta nope right there.
Looks absolutely vile..ruined a perfectly beautiful place with an eyesore just to line someones pockets $$$
Lol
Finally, someone that pronounces cornwall right lol
I've read the "Tintagel" wrong. Oooooops
i read it as titan ge-...
I always read it as Tinta-gel myself. ;-D
I hope u paid ur staff good money for risking there life’s
Serious feat of engineering? Didn't they do that 500 years ago? You finally caught up
It was a natural landbridge which collapsed 100s of years ago
So there was already a bridge.. boo!! Boo! !!boo to that! Boo!
Boo you!!! Boo!!! Boo!!!
@@pistachiobaklava1216 I probably deserve that.. I don't remember posting but I know I was drunk... I get really upset whenever I see old things replaced!
no. it was the middle of the castle. the NATURAL bridge which the castle sat on it collapsed taking the midsection of the building with it.
@@71kaye - As the rest might if sea levels rise further with Climate Change.
EH is going to lose a pile of profit on the 'I survived the Tantagel Steps' merchandise from the shop.
At £18.70 per adult to cross the bridge its an absolute joke.
Mind the gap.
Anyone want to pay for my airfare to visit?
