Today we visited "King Arthur's Stone" at Camlann ~ Slaughter Bridge, Camelford. This is a 6th century inscribed stone that marks the legendary site where Arthur and Mordred met for the battle which ended both lives and the end of the fellowship of the round table in Ad 537.
There also was a Saxon battle here. Tennyson visited here in 1848 and was inspired to write the "Idylls of the King".
