For centuries, rumors have circulated about an ancient kingdom called Cantre’r Gwaelod that once existed in Wales’ Cardigan Bay, before it sank beneath the waves to become the basis for a legendary “Welsh Atlantis.”
The tales of Cantre’r Gwaelod have shifted over the years, with some saying that a maiden neglected to stop a well from overflowing over the lands, while later tales blame a drunken gatekeeper who failed to oversee the dykes. Legend has it that the bells of the sunken kingdom’s church can still be heard on quiet evenings.
