In the Shadow of Knucklas Castle

Description

This is a story about Knucklas Castle Hill, a special hill on the Welsh border It retells an ancient legend of King Arthur’s marriage to Guinevere, daughter of a giant. Today, in the upper Teme Valley, you can still fi nd traces of the story – not least in the river’s Welsh name, Afon Tefeidiad, so-called after Arthur’s words. There’s a huge stone in a fi eld that looks like a giant’s head; a rock where the devil sat, and the old castle hill itself where the wedding took place.But how did the stone get into the field? And were there really giants here? Surely this ancient hill knows the answers.
