Cornwall
Wales

Cool story!

Well, according to the writer, London is England, or vice versa. I'm also pretty sure there would have been other shrines in other Roman places. It's just another theory based on one bit of tenuous evidence.

I find it hard to take that story seriously when they haven't even spelled amphitheatre in the title correctly.
It's right there in a quote in the story :dazed:

Table, amphitheater........yeah, I see how those two terms interchange. "Bobby, you need to clear the dishes off the amphitheater, uhh, I mean table."

Amphitable!

Interesting story, EB.

Lame stuff this. Very lame. I have no doubt he's real, albeit a bit fuzzy due to oral tradition, but to pinpoint a pseudo-mythical man to Chester on the basis of an amphitheatre with a shrine in it is a bit nuts. Leave the feller be - he's a very 'British' hero in the context of him likely being Brythonic (a brach of the Celtic language/peoples) but that covered the west of Britain from Cornwall up as far as southern Scotland, so he could have been anywhere in that area, whether Cornwall, Wales, Somerset, Chester, Cumbria, Midlothian, etc.

Poor feller wants leaving alone

The Picts ate him.

true or not king arthurs castle at tintagel in cornwall is so beeeeoooootifull. go have a looksee, but make sure you take your litter home!

Tintagel is to be fair a beautiful place and Merlins cave is pretty fun to walk in when the tide is low.... but to be honest there's really not a great deal left of the castle.
