my name is william matthews and, along my with two partners, we were the engineers and the designerstwo sides of the medieval castle built in the 12th century by richard, earl of cornwall. the mainland ward and the island ward were connected by rock which in a sense, it eroded away and the bridge recreates that lake between the two sides. one of the key drivers behind the project and its whole reason to exist was to improve accessibility to the site. one of the major problems at tintagel is this incredibly rocky landscape. we wanted to be able to get lots of people here who couldn't get here before because there were so many steps up to the island, a lot of people couldn't because they had bad knees, use wheelchairs — whatever it was. now we have essentially step—free access all the way from the car park onto the site, and it was so satisfying on the opening day to see literally a queue of wheelchair users from the local village queue up to be the first person to cross the bridge and onto the island — something that they may not have done for many, many years. in my mind, this was a

my name's william matthews and, along with laurent ney and matthieu mallie, from ney & partners, we arewe have essentially step—free access right from the car park all the way through onto the site. and it was so satisfying on the opening day to see literally a queue of wheelchair users from the local village queue up to be the first person to cross the bridge and onto the island. something that they might not have done for many years. in my mind, this was a textbook example of how you should design a major piece of engineering, on a really sensitive heritage or archaeological site. you can look at all sorts of designs for bridges that would have to go through the archaeology on the surface of the island. the elegance of this solution was that it is anchored into the rock on either side, below the sensitive archaeology. very, very clever. the materials we used were important not just structurally, but also, how it would tie into its landscape, its situation. for the bridge deck, we've used slate which is mined from the quarryjust two miles away. 40,000 hand—split and hand—cut slates wil
