Is Caerleon really Camelot?


Visit www.legendofkingarthur.org to discover the significance of Caerleon in the story of King Arthur. It was 12th century Welsh cleric Geoffrey of Monmouth who laid the foundations of the Arthurian legend in his best-seller Historia Regum Britanniae, which he claimed was a translation of an ancient Celtic manuscript detailing the kings of Britain. The influence of his work was felt across Europe and grew with the passing centuries, inspiring writers such as Alfred Lord Tennyson and Thomas Mallory. The legend’s influence continues today with Arthurian sculptures at the Ffwrwm art and craft centre www.ffwrwm.co.uk and along the sculpture trail around the town.
