King
Arthur sleeping in Snowdonia
Ogof
Llanciau Eryri or the "Cave of the Young Men of
Snowdon" is said to be the cavern to which the
Knights of the Round Table who survived the
Battle
of Camlann retired; and they sleep their still.
The battle
is said to have taken place in the Cwm-y-Llan, and
Arthur was actually shot down in the Bwlch-y-Saethau
or "Pass of Arrows" near where the knights'
cave stands. The King was laid to rest under Carnedd
Arthur (Arthur's Cairn) while Bedwyr
returned Excalibur
to the Lady
of the Lake at Llyn
Llydaw.
