The origins of Bristol Cathedral date back to 1140, when Robert Fitzharding(e) founded St Augustine’s Abbey on the Deanery Road site and it is a phantom monk that is said to remain and haunt the building. This abbey was designed in the Norman style though very little of this remains today, though the gatehouse and chapterhouse are 12th century. Read More »

Llyn Barfog, or the Bearded Lake, is the setting.
It is said that a terrible monster, the Avanc, lived in the lake, from where it would raid the surrounding countryside. When King Arthur came to hear of this, he went to the lake and threw a great chain around the Avanc. Then, with the help of his mighty horse (sometimes called Llamrai), he hauled the creature from the lake and killed it. Proof of this is found a short distance from Llyn Barfog in the shape of a stone known as Carn March Arthur, the Stone of Arthur's Horse.
Here there is an undoubted hoof-print etched deeply into the rock - supposedly made by Arthur's steed as it strained to pull the Avanc from the lake. No one knows exactly what the avanc looked like, it has been variously described as a dragon, a crocodile, and a beaver.
