EP25 The Secret Islands of the Faeries: How the fairies of Wales are connected to King Arthur, why they are called y Tylwyth Teg, and more Welsh folklore about the fair folk who haunted the forests

Welsh folklore tells us that the fairy folk of Wales can be
traced back to the times of King Arthur.


But what connection do they have with the legendary island of
Avalon, and why are they called y Tylwyth Teg in Welsh?


Join Mark Rees (author of "Ghosts of Wales"/ "Paranormal Wales"
etc.) as he explores these questions and more in this episode of
the Ghosts & Folklore of Wales podcast.
