Cadbury Castle and the Legend of King Arthur
Cadbury Castle, formerly known as Camalet, is a Bronze and Iron Age hillfort in the civil parish of South Cadbury in Somerset.
It is a scheduled monument and has been associated with King Arthur's legendary court at Camelot.
Escorted by mounted knights carrying lances, King Arthur of the Britons traverses this route back to Camelot (as Cadbury is thought to be) on this day in June.
One witness said that on 23 June 1995 they encountered an armoured man (more dark age than medieval) holding a standard on horseback - the figure disappeared around a corner, though there was no place that he could have gone.
One legend says a door opens every seven years in the hillside so that Arthur and his company can leave to feed their horses.
