King Arthur’s Labyrinth Adventure

There is no going back once you’re through the waterfall, immersed in the depths of Welsh history. But fear not – your mysterious hooded boatman is there to guide you through the gateway to the vast array of myths, legends and stories of King Arthur that are woven into Welsh culture. 

On your journey underground, discover the stories of days long past, when the mighty King Arthur came out of the darkness and helped defend the native Celtic people against formidable Saxon invaders. Learn of his supernatural powers and how his leadership bought defeat to his enemies and peace to the island of Britain. 

And that’s not all – you’ll also learn stories of dragons who foretold Celtic glory, of a giant so immense, he waded across the Irish Sea, of King Arthur’s epic battle in the Battle of Camlan, the ladies of the lake, and much more. All brought to life through dramatic scenes, lighting and sound, King Arthur’s Labyrinth will be one unforgettable experience.

Brave the waters of Dragon River - an exciting finale to your underground adventure.
