Saturday, 14th July from 11am to approx. 4.30pm - A Walk in The Usk Valley to celebrate Arthur Machen |
Arthur Machen Copyright R.B. Russell |
A Walk in the Usk Valley led by Catherine Fisher, local Fantasy Writer and Wales Young People’s Laureate.
In recent years, in part due to the 2006 film Pan’s Labyrinth which was inspired by The Great God Pan (1894), Arthur Machen has developed cult status as one of the great early fantasy fiction writers. Born and bred in Caerleon and the hills to the north, Arthur was directly influenced by the people and places of the Usk Valley, setting scenes and drawing themes from them throughout his literary career.
We will explore some of these Influences through the eyes of Catherine Fisher, and the knowledge of some members of the Friends of Arthur Machen. The walk starts after a brief coach journey and follows a linear route back to Caerleon. |
Start – 11.00 am at the Bull Inn Car Park (pay & display), High Street, Caerleon
Finish – 4.30 pm at Caerleon Arts Festival, Hanbury Field, Caerleon
