River Usk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

The River Usk (Welsh: Afon Wysg)
rises in the mountains of mid-Wales
then
flows south-east through Abergavenny and
the eponymous town of Usk to
the Roman legionary fortress of Caerleon and
the Bristol Channel at Newport.

It is the deepest river in the British Isles at its mouth
and has the second largest tidal range in the world
after the Bay of Fundy in Canada.

The Usk in history and legend

The Usk has played an important role both in the history
of South Wales,
and some of the local folktales.
Historically,
the Usk has been used as a major shipping route for much
of the last millennium,
mostly because of
its wide and deep mouth,
and
good access from the Bristol Channel.
Evidence of the Usk's longstanding use in transport and trade came
in the form of the remains of the Newport ship
which were unearthed in July 2002.
The ship, dated around 1465, was most likely a trade ship,
and may have been around much of Europe
and beyond in its lifetime [1].
Its presence in the Usk has only confirmed
what an important trading route the Usk
must have provided to the many towns and villages along its route

The Usk has also played a role in many local and regional legends.
One of the most famous legends involves King Arthur,
who is thought by many to have been
based in Wales.
Legend has it that
Arthur fought a battle against Saxon invaders near Newport
and,
after a victorious outcome, sailed down the Usk
on a boat to Caerleon,
where he held council
and based himself for large stretches at a time.
Some even suggest that
Caerleon is the site of Camelot,
though such suggestions are conjecture
and are not based on any hard evidence.
