Bridge with gap wins Tintagel Castle design contest

Winning concept has cantilever on Cornish mainland and another on the island fortress, the two stretching out but not quite meeting

It may not be ideal for sufferers of vertigo but it does sound spectacular. A competition to build a new footbridge at Tintagel Castle has been won by a design featuring a gap in the middle.

The daring concept proposes one cantilever on the Cornish mainland and another on the island fortress, where, legend has it, King Arthur was conceived. The two structures stretch out to each other across the void but do not quite meet.
