It is situated on the banks of the river Wye or Gwy and in the days of King Arthur was in the country of Wales being under the control of Buellt and Gwrtheynion, the river being the natural border betwix the two countries of England and Wales. King Arthur, also known as Aurelius Ambrosius, and his men used the neolithic burial ground on the top of the hill, now known as Arthur's Stone and listed in Herefordshire Sites and Monuments, as a camping ground. Several of his battles took place in that area including the Battle of Bedegraine. It was also known as the site of Vortigerns elusive castle which commanded breathtaking views of both the Wye valley and the Golden Valley and therefore an ideal advantage point when fighting the invading Saxon forces and where he joined forces with Arthur to secure the success of driving back the invaders.
