The castle's name links the site to Arthurian legend because Bran was a Celtic god-king whose severed head King Arthur dug up from its burial place on Tower Hill in London. There is also said to be a hoard of treasure deep beneath the castle, which can only be found by a boy followed by a white dog with silver eyes. A shepherd boy on the hillside one evening is said have a dramatic encounter with fairies on the hill, only to be found by his master at daybreak, still dancing all alone. The precise location of the Nantyr-Ellyllon (Hollow of the Goblins) is unclear - but the whole hill gives off a magical atmosphere. * The full feature can be found in the 200th issue of Fortean Times, on sale from today.
