Description
Just a few miles from Bodmin where I was born stands Roche Rock.. Much folklore is attributed to this place much of it may well be true! It has been used as the backdrop for the Omen films and what I find interesting are the associations with King Arthur..
A contemporary theory, first advanced by E. M. R. Ditmas in her study of the topography of the Tristan legend, suggests that this may have been the site of the hermit Ogrin's chapel, where the lovers, having escaped from King Mark, found temporary refuge. The medieval poet Beroul, who wrote one of the earliest versions of the story, appears to display an intimate knowledge of the Cornish landscape, and his description of Ogrin's chapel certainly bears a more than passing resemblance to Roche Rock.
Anyway hope you enjoy and thanks for taking time to look and any comments

The most important thing is to have dreams, and to believe... in Love... Have a wonderful week-end my friend, and take care. Hugs. V
