Caerfyrddin

Castle of Myrddin (Merlin)

Quest

Seek out the last branch of the sacred oak of Myrddin in the museum. Make a silent wish. If it's going to come true, it will do so within a few hours whilst you are still in Caerfyrddin. You will notice a change in the weather if your wish is about to take effect.

Information

The name Carmarthen comes from Caer, "seat", and Myrddin, the name of the great bard and mentor to King Arthur. Myrddin left a sacred oak to guard over the town, but in the 1970s it was poisoned by malign gwrachod and died, causing severe flooding. Luckily one branch was preserved, and is kept in the Carmarthenshire County Museum. Magic is everywhere in this place!
