Chepstow Dragon

The legend of the Chepstow Dragon has been compared to that of the Loch Ness monster. It is a myth based in the small town of Chepstow, South Wales. The legend goes that two dragons, a vicious green dragon from the south of Wales called Myfunwi and a friendly red dragon from the North called Ffwrwm, took part in a fight many years ago in a battle of national pride. The battle took place in the mountains of Snowdonia, North Wales and the vicious green dragon looked easily likely to defeat the red dragon, who did not particularly want to engage in the fight in the first place. However, the red dragon was resilient and fought off the attacks of the green dragon, and eventually the green dragon grew tired and could fight no more. At this point, the red dragon could have killed the green dragon off. However, he decided to send him to live forever underwater, and legend has it that ever since he has lived at the bottom of the river Wye. The red dragon of course has gone on to be the symbolic of Wales, but the green dragon remains a source of mystery in the small town of Chepstow. See Also
