Sheep's Paradise
Photograph by Jim Richardson

A shepherd and his companions break for the view as they gather sheep on the rugged highlands of Snowdonia National Park in northern Wales.  While the trails belong to sheep and trekkers these days, Celtophiles wonder if the legendary Arthur, the Celtic chief, once traveled in these mountains.  Almost every region in the modern Celtic realm claims a piece of the Arthur saga. Welsh tradition asserts the soothsayer Merlin first revealed his magical gifts at a hill fort at the foot of Snowdon mountain and that Arthur is buried nearby on the face of Lliwedd peak.
