Folkways: The Folklore of Britain and Ireland (S1E4) đ§ STILL WATERS RUN DEEP, Part 1: Ladies of the Lakes
Today weâre getting out our hiking boots and heading into the mountains to dive into the world of the Gwragedd Annwn: the water women of the Welsh lakes. We start with the most famous lake lady of all - the keeper of Excalibur in the legends of King Arthur - before finding ourselves in the Brecon Beacons for the story of Rhiwallon and the Lady of Llyn y Fan Fach. The first of a three-part mini-series.
