cantre'r gwaelod
Cantre'r Gwaelod, also known as Cantref Gwaelod or Cantref y Gwaelod (The Lowland Hundred), is a legendary ancient sunken kingdom, said to have occupied a tract of fertile land lying between Ramsey Island and Bardsey Island in what is now Cardigan Bay to the west of Wales. It has been described as the "Welsh Atlantis" and has been featured in folklore, literature and song.
Cantre'r Gwaelod's capital was Caer Wyddno (The Fort of Gwyddno), seat of the ruler Gwyddno Garanhir, during the sixth century. (Roughly 500-600 AD) In fact, up to around the 17 th century, Cantre’r Gwaelod was known as Maes Gwyddno (meaning ‘Gwyddno’s Land’), so named after this Welsh ruler. An earlier version of the legend associated with Maes Gwyddno asserts that the land was submerged under water when Mererid, a priestess of a fairy well, allowed the water to overflow.
Much like Lyonesse, Cantre'r Gwaelod's underwater ruins have now been turned into a merfolk city.
