MYSTERY, LEGEND, MERLIN & ARTHUR
Wales the Land of Legends and Myths, the last home of the Druids – still shrouded in mystery – their learning lost in the mists of time….
The Romans stayed for more than 300 hundred years and were here with their galleys in the shipyard at Loughor beneath their fort on the hill. They had their roads or "strada" (Stradey) to Llanelli and its Fort, then onto Carmarthen, the first city in Wales with its amphitheatre that you can still see. Wales is rich in minerals and the Romans had their Gold Mines still visible on the Roman road to the Llandeilo forts - they were a considerable presence but in the end they left to put right the wrongs in Rome - to return in their descendants...
The mystery is still here and to this day you can feel it in your very being, your soul and you somehow make that connection into our past from when the Romans left and the true kings reappeared, Constantine, Vortigen, Ambrosius, Arthur,……
It was here, born in the Dark Ages from the elemental mix of the Picts, the Goeddels , the Angles and Brythons, heated by the fire from the beacons in the crucible of war both Arthur and Merlin were forged. The obvious sign posts are to be found here – Arthur’s Stone, Carmarthen - Caerfyrddin(Castle of Merlin) and there are many hidden clues for the scholars. Ketgueli is now thought to be Kidwelly, Rheged the coastal region including the Gower.
New studies point to some of Arthur’s battles being fought in Gower, Loughor, the hills behind the Rivers Loughor and Dulais. Merlin comes from Carmarthen and Arthur’s Court at some time was in Ammanford
