The Gower and Carmarthen Bay Experience

Sir Gawain, Percival and Camelot

In the Myths Sir Gawain from Cheriton near Llanmadoc on the Gower went on a journey via Weobley Castle at Landimore, through Llanrhidian, and onto Penclawdd (Head of the Dyke) with that Dyke being the dividing border between the Goedels of North Gower and the Brythons of South Gower.
Sir Gawain then travelled on to where today's Gowerton now stands before crossing the marsh to get to the Castle of Griffons, i.e. the old Roman Castle of Leucarum, today's Loughor or Llwchwr.
The story brings into focus the White Wood, Coed Prydwen, at Kingsbridge, presumably named after King Arthur who named his ship Prydwen that one could presume was made from timber from that wood.
From Llwchwr Sir Gawain travelled on along the Llwchwr River to the Black Castle near the Church of Llandeilo Talybont, now removed to, and brilliantly restored at, St Fagans Folk Museum in Cardiff,
Sir Gawain route goes through Garn Goch and onto a church that Dr Stephens interprets as Llangyfelach Church, beyond which was a forest that was owned by Perlesvaus/ Percival.
Continuing on, Sir Gawain travelled 20 Welsh Leagues to the fairest meadowland in the world from where he espied the scene on the hill upon which Carreg Cennen Castle stands, the view is out of this world.
The castle was that of Perlesvaus' widowed mother - CAMELOT.
