Description
No one knows if Arthur was real — but the land remembers him anyway. This map follows the legend across Britain as a story: born on a Cornish cliff, crowned at a Roman court, seated at the Round Table, betrayed at his last battle, and borne away to Avalon. Ruins, hillforts and a moorland lake, each with a thousand-year-old claim on the once and future king.
