About King Arthur's Labyrinth

THE UNDERGROUND STORYTELLING ADVENTURE

Sail through the magical veil of a waterfall into a legendary world awash with stories of dragons, giants, fierce battles and the legendary King Arthur.

Once your boat docks you will be guided, on foot, through the winding tunnels and vast caverns of the Labyrinth by your guide, a hooded Dark Age Boatman. Inside the Labyrinth ancient Welsh legends unfold:

ANCIENT WELSH LEGENDS

-Enjoy the ancient Welsh legend of The Battle of Camlan, where King Arthur battles his evil nephew Mordred.

- Hear the story of King Gwrtheyrn, who was trying to build a new castle in North Wales but each night the foundations crumbled. With Merlin's help, 2 dragons were found fighting deep underground, one Red and one White.

-Enjoy the ancient tale of Bran the Blessed, King of the island of the Mighty many years before King Arthur was born. Find out the drastic action that King Arthur took when he was told that "Bran the Blessed's magical powers still protect the country today”.

These ancient Welsh legends, and more, unfold deep underground with dramatic scenes, light and sound. Enjoy an exciting finale - Dragon River. Your adventures underground may disturb the Guardians of the Labyrinth. Will you avoid their clutches and return safely to the outside world?

The tales told are many of the earliest Welsh legends which celebrate the coming of Arthur, a King with extraordinary powers who defeated the Saxons and brought peace to our Islands.

Cool when hot and dry when wet, this is the perfect attraction for all ages in all weathers.



The adventure continues above ground with further attractions to explore.

In THE WELSH LEGENDS MAZE where you'll find more mythical stories, intriguing characters and The Stone Circle as you navigate the snaking paths of a maze. Many of the tales told in the Welsh Legends Maze are taken from the Mabinogion - the ancient Welsh book of legends.  Pick up clues from around the maze to complete our quiz and you'll win yourself a prize!

Enjoy the legend of the Red and White Dragons found fighting beneath the mountain of Dinas Emrys, just one of many stories told in King Arthur's Labyr
