Information for Schools

The Arthur you hear of is the hero of the earliest legends, a Dark Age warrior fighting the Saxon invader to bring peace to the Island of Britain. His feats of bravery, his supernatural powers and his strength of leadership brought defeat to his enemies and his fame was sung throughout the land. Stories of dragons, of giants, of battles, of treachery and of floods ….enthralling for all ages.

King Arthur’s Labyrinth is an exciting visitor attraction where an underground boat ride takes visitors deep into the spectacular caverns under the Braichgoch Mountain at Corris near Machynlleth. Stories unfold, throughout the visit, with stunning sound and light effects.

The journey’s end will take you back along the beautiful subterranean river into the grounds of Corris Craft Centre and the Bards’ Quest.
Back above ground, explore the maze of the Bards’ Quest. Wales has many wonderful legends which have evolved over the centuries, passed down by bards and storytellers. Now, they are known to only a few and are slowly forgotten. Take on the challenge of the Bards’ Quest and help to save these legends from extinction by searching for them in the maze of time.

Corris Craft Centre is the starting point for the King Arthur’s Labyrinth underground adventure and is home to 10 craft workshops. See at first hand 10 talented craftspeople and buy fabulous unique hand-crafted items: hand-made cards, rustic furniture, hand-turned wood, glassware, quilting, candles, leatherwork, jewellery, pottery and wooden toys. The Labyrinth shop sells a range of books, gifts, toys and souvenirs on the Celtic Arthurian theme.

The Centre Cafe is light, bright and modern with amazing views and serves locally sourced ingredients to make up an interesting menu with a Welsh twist. In the gardens, there's picnic tables and a children's play area.

When visiting King Arthur’s Labyrinth wrap up warm as the underground caverns are cool. The 45 minute tour of the caverns involves a walk of about half a mile along level gravel paths unsuitable only for the very frail. However, the variety of craft shops, gardens and refreshments within the Corris Craft Centre and the stunning scenery of the Corris valley provide ample enjoyment for everyone.
