Arthur's Stone

On a desolate ridge near Reynoldston stands this mysterious neolithic burial chamber capped by a 25-tonne quartz boulder. The view from here is fantastic. In legend, the capstone is a pebble that King Arthur removed from his boot; the deep cut in the rock was either made by Excalibur or by St David, and the muddy spring beneath the stone grants wishes.

To find it, turn right (east) on the road leaving the King Arthur Hotel in Reynoldston and look out for a rough parking area on your left after about 0.6 miles. Looking north, you can see the stone on the horizon.
