Glamorgan History Walks: Mynnyd y Gaer - Llanbedr Ar Y Mydydd - Primeval Forest
This summer the TV history Expert; Graham Loveluck-Edwards is running a series of history walks from May to July across Glamorgan. They are all between 4 to 7 miles so they cater for various abilities. As you would expect, they take in stunning Welsh countryside as well as places of historical iterest and the settings of some of Wales' most wonderful legends and folklore. Graham said "People seem to get a lot of pleasure for reading my books about Glamorgan history and folklore, or form watching my videos. I wanted to come up with something more immersive. Notting can achieve that more than actually going to the places where these events happened to hear the stories told" Graham will also be supported by other history experts and even some musicicans to bring these places and events to life. There will undoubtedly be a lot of fun and laughs along the way. Not least because every walk ends up at a pub for food and refreshments.
