You're standing at Tintagel Castle, on the north coast of Cornwall. The ruins lie partly on the mainland and partly on Tintagel Island, a peninsula off the coast. Look at the steel footbridge out to the island. It opened in 2019, and it was designed to evoke King Arthur's sword. Between the two halves of the bridge there's a narrow gap of 40 millimetres. Can you spot it?
