Travel in Wales to trace the mysteries of the legend of King Arthur and Merlin, the magician, and their search for the Holy Grail.  Arthur’s tale is deeply ingrained in Welsh folklore and known through many sites in the country.

With one of our 6-day self-drive Wales vacation packages, you’ll be able to visit:

• Monmouth, where the 12th century Benedictine monk, Geoffrey of Monmouth, first popularized the Arthurian legend;
• Chepstow Castle, below which legend states that Arthur and his knights are sleeping in a cave;
• A series of thrones devoted to the Knigthts of the Round Table in Caerleon, where Geoffrey of Monmouth convoked the first of Arthur’s courts;
• The caves at Craig-y-Ddinas where Arthur and his knights are guarding a large treasure;
• The Gower Peninsula, where Arthur’s stone is placed in Cefn Bryn, an ancient burial chamber.
• Carmarthen, where Merlin may have been born, and the Iron Age hill fort at Merlin’s Hill Centre, where Merlin may be in state;
• The site of Arthur’s final battle of Camlan in Dinas Mawddwy;
• The western most tip of north Wales, rich in Arthurian history, and sites that include Llyn Barfog where Arthur killed a monster with a chain and Bwlch y Saethau, the site of a fierce battle with his enemies;
• Castell Dinas Bran, the final hiding place of the Holy Grail.
