The King Arthur Hotel, Reynoldston

King Arthur

...Merlin, Dragons & The Sword In The Stone
the-king-arthur-hotel-reynoldston

A great hotel and pub within handy walking distance of Arthur's Stone: an Early Neolithic tomb on the Cefn Bryn ridgeway which runs through pristine Gower. Legend says the tomb is made from a pebble from King Arthur's boot which magically grew in size when he threw it from Carmarthenshire. The stone is reputedly thirsty, and occasionally gets up and goes to a nearby stream for a drink. There are rumours that Dylan Thomas (1914-1953) enacted a séance here after a performance with the local amateur dramatics society. Whilst in the area, Perriswood Archery & Falconry Centre and Gower Heritage Centre are well worth a visit.
