A fascinating museum based around one of the traditional sites of King Arthur's last battle. According to tradition, Arthur fought his last, fatal battle with Mordred at a site called Camlann. Is this the batlefield site? Well, perhaps. That possibility is enhanced with the fact that at the centre of the 20 acre site lies King Arthur's Stone, an inscribed 6th century memorial stone on the banks of the River Camel.
