Legend

According to a local legend, the locals built four churches around the Radnor Forest to capture the last surviving Welsh dragon to sleep here. The church name was Llanfihangel Cefnllys, Llanfihangel Rhydithon, Llanfihangel Nant Melan and Llanfihangel Cascob, dedicated to the Archangel Michael all the Dragonslayer (Welsh Mihangel ). If even one of the churches is destroyed, then the dragon wakes up and devastated the country.
