Battles

It was here on the cliffs above the mouth of the River Neverb that Pwyll, Prince of Dyfed in The Mabinogion, set his hounds to feast on a stag which had been slain by Arawn the King of the Otherworld. After his death, his wife, the legendary queen Rhiannon, appears on a gleaming white horse holding three magical birds whose song can “wake the dead and lull the living to sleep”. She was celebrated in the Fleetwood Mac song that bears her name, and remains a popular folk figure in this part of Pembrokeshire. The Visitor Centre at Newport, run by Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, offers exhibitions on local culture, heritage, walks and attractions.
