Llangynwyd History Walk (part of the Glamorgan History Walks festival 2025)

The Glamorgan History Walks are an award winning series of guided walks to places of historical interest across the ancient county of Glamorgan. This walk takes you on a voyage of historical discovery in the historic hilltop of village of Llangynwyd.

As this walk meanders through some of the most beautiful countryside imaginable, it offers a huge variety of discussion topics. Historically, everything from the Bronze Age to the coal boom of the Industrial Revolution. With a bit of Arthurian legend and romantic Welsh folklore thrown in for good measure.

We also take in the ’Bodvoc Stone’. The memorial of an ancient Welsh Chieftain and the ‘Cadair Edward’ stone, commemorating another great local legend concerning the medieval English king Edward II. Finishing up at the Old House Inn, one of Wales’ oldest and most charismatic pubs for a spot of lunch and a couple of jars.
