Merlin's Oak
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Merlin's Oak is a famous oak tree
that once stood on the corner of Oak Lane and Priory Street in
Carmarthen, South Wales.

[edit]

Merlin's prophecy

In local tradition,
Carmarthen is said to be the birth place of the mythical magician Merlin,
claiming that
the origin of the name
Carmarthen, or
Caerfyrddin comes from
Myrddin, the Welsh name for
Merlin.
Merlin is said to have made a prophecy regarding the old oak tree:
When Merlin's Tree shall tumble down,
Then shall fall Carmarthen Town.

[edit]

History

Merlin's Oak was probably planted by a schoolmaster in 1659 or 1660,
to celebrate the return of King Charles II of England to the throne.

In the early 19th century,
a local man appears to have poisoned the tree,
with the intention to stop people from meeting under it,
and the oak is believed to have died in the year 1856.

In 1951, a branch was broken off from the tree.
This fragment can still be seen in the Carmarthen Museum.

In 1978,
the last fragments of the tree were removed from their original place,
and are now in the Civic Hall of Carmarthen.
