    Great topic Jay:)

    To start with we have a few Arthur related sites here:
    http://www.mysteriousbritain.co.uk/map/King+Arthur

    and some Merlin ones here:
    http://www.mysteriousbritain.co.uk/map/Merlin

    As we come up with more whilst filling the website we will add them.  Just looking at the maps there you get the impression they tend to be on the western side of the country, the sort of Celtic fringe as you might say.

    If  anybody also feels they can add to any if the articles please do so in the comments boxes under them and if you want to add new places to the maps we can do that it you post or e-mail the artice text

    Hi Ian… when i manage to root out my notes i’ll type a list of places that i have been or have marked for further investigation… There is also the possibility of the stories from france… as alot of modern thinkers would argue that Arthur and his knights are a french invention…. but i shaln’t get into that here

    I shall endeavour to add my own notes… As of yet… i have found no one in my local who likes to listen to me ramble on about my findings… maybe i have found the right place to do so đŸ˜‰ hehe

    In cumbria you could try Arthuret, a small village with some links to Merlin.

    There are also tales of Arthur sleeping at Hodnet Gardens in shropshire… they even have a cave with a model of him in !

    If you are into the later Arthurian stories, the poem ‘The Lady of the Lake’ by Sir Walter Scott suggests the lady of the lake lived in Loch Katrine. I don’t live far away from there and i’m not suprised why it was chosen- it is very beautiful and so is the woodland. It isn’t far from Loch Lomond and the general area of that part of Scotland has a few ancient ties to the Arthurian tale. A lot of people believe Merlin was born in the lowlands of Scotland.

    Northern France might be somewhere to explore too.
