Arthur's Stone: Archaeologists dig up tomb linked to King Arthur

[Imperial Dave]

I cycle up there alot. The Valley D'Or is very pretty although the road is a stinker when you climb up towards Gospel Pass and Hay Bluff!

I must look up Amr in Koch's Celtic Encyclopedia.  If I find an entry I will report back.  Unless anyone happens to know already?

[Imperial Dave]

I'll look too. from memory Amr, Amir or Amhar is one of the 3 (or 4!) children of Arthur.

[Anton]

A useful exercise in itself Dave.  I didn't know about the other kids.

its a very nice area all round

Agreed.  We had a very nice holiday in the Golden Valley one year.  Castles just across the border, prehistoric monuments, Kilpeck church with its carvings, good local produce (including cider).  And pretty too.

I once saved a group of Buddhists from a goose attack in the Golden Valley...

A feat worthy of Arthur himself !

Geese can be tricky.  No mean feat.
