I'm not sure that such is the case. In /The Keys to Avalon: the true
location of Arthur’s Kingdom revealed /(Blake, S & Lloyd, S;
Shaftesbury: Element, 2000) the thesis that the stories of Arthur and
Camelot are localised in northern Wales is posited. Although I wasn't
entirely convinced by their argument, and some of the detail became
somewhat trivial, it's an interesting theory, with numerous lowland
language area precedents. Well worth a read, if you're interested in
such things - but nowhere near as spectacular as the movie!

Guid will,
Andrys Onsman
