Castles of Arthurian Legend

From romantic ruins on England’s windswept Cornish coast to spectacular castles perches in the Pyrenees Mountains of France, tails of King Arthur, Knights Templars, and the Holy Grail imbue the landscape. Travel writer and architectural historian, Shawnie discusses various origins of the grail myth, and using images from her research with English Heritage (now Historic England), explores its connection to a number of different castles and sites in Britain and France. Discussion includes Glastonbury, Rosslyn, Rennes-le-Chateau, and controversial theories that have fueled the imagination of troubadours and novelists for centuries.
