he
patron saint of Llangollen, St Collen, is said to have had a fight with
a giantess who guarded Bwlch Rhiwvelen, known today as the Horseshoe Pass.
his
giantess had been killing every human who had tried to cross the pass
and Collen grabbed his sword and set off for the roadway. Whilst in combat
with her he cut off her right arm, which she promptly picked up and began
attacking Collen with!
e
then cut off her other arm and this caused the giantess to cry out for
the help of Arthur from his stronghold in the Eglywseg escarpment.
his
stronghold is the tallest cliff in the valley, known today as Craig Arthur
and on the summit of this cliff is a strange rock formation known as Cadair
Arthur (Arthur's Chair). The cliff is very steep, difficult to approach
and is not on any footpaths.
