TINTAGEL, UNITED KINGDOM - APRIL 28: The new 'Gallos' sculpture that has been erected at Tintagel Castle is seen in Tintagel on April 28, 2016 in Cornwall, England. The English Heritage managed site and the nearby town have long been associated with the legend of King Arthur and continue to attract large visitor numbers. However, efforts by English Heritage to update the visitor experience with the Gallos sculpture, along with a rock carving of Merlin's face, which English Heritage say are inspired by the legend of King Arthur and Tintagel Castles royal past, have met with criticism from some Cornish nationalists and historians.
