After Caerleon, take the M4 to Neath and then to Pontneddfechan on the site of Craig-y-Dinas, where there is an extensive network of cellars.

Dinas Emrys

Steps: Beddgelert

Hill in the region of Snowdonia, near the village of Beddgelert. This is a very important place in Welsh mythology since it is here that Merlin predicted the defeat and the victory of the Welsh over the English. According to the legend, King Vortigern tried in vain to build the foundations of his future castle on this hill. He then brought Merlin, still a young boy, to the site, and the latter had a vision of a dragon fight, one red (representing Wales) and the other white (representing England). Symbol of the struggle between the two peoples, foreshadowing the defeat followed by the victory of the Welsh!
