A Sunday afternoon stroll around the hill top ancient town of Llantrisant. A town shaped by its ‘gateway’ location. On the medieval border between Marcher England and the Welsh Cantrefs. It was a stop off for drovers on the ridgeway, and 6th Century Christian missionaries. It was also the home of the colourful Dr Price and the birth place of modern day cremation.For full details of this walk visit: https://grahamloveluckedwards.com/llantrisant-town-walk/
