Kenfig and Sker History Walks (Glamorgan History Walks 2025)

A second chance to do this popular walk which sold out earlier in the summer. Once the site of a bustling medieval port and commercial hub. But what happened to it? And are legends of a lost city under the lake true? We look at the incredible vein of folklore and literature that has its inspiration in the places we visit on this walk.

History topics discussed
Neolithic Kenfig
Viking Kenfig
Bodvoc and Iestyn ap Cwrgant
The Norman invasion of Glamorgan
The medieval port and town
Stories of the lost city, the Gwrach Y Rhibyn, and the maid of Sker
and others…

Places we visit
Kenfig Pool
The dunes
Sker House (though we don’t go inside)
Sker Point
Kenfig Castle
Mawdlam Church
The Prince of wales Inn
Lunch & drinks are not included in ticket price
