Описание к видео The lost city of Kenfig | The legend and the history | Ghost towns of Britain Episode 1 SD 480p

Kenfig; on the Glamorgan coast line is a bank of sand dunes and an inky black lake. But history tells us this was the site of a major town and port. The seat of a Royal household. And a place fiercely contested by Welsh warriors, raiding Vikings and Norman invaders. It was possibly the most significant settlement for miles around. But now, just a handful of cottages.

What happened here? How did this important place just disappear? Is the old legend that it still lies at the bottom of the lake true? What was it like in its prime?

All these questioned are answered from the places where they happened.

This video is an episode in the Ghost towns of Britain series. Written, presented and published by Welsh author and historian; Graham Loveluck-Edwards. Author of the 'Legends of Bridgend and the Vale' series of books and the book 'Historic Pubs of Wales'. Published by Candy Jar Books LTD (Cardiff).
