We visited this charming village and church yesterday. What a delightful place this is. We were visiting our family in Cardiff for the first time in six months, and we celebrated As three generations with this visit. We were greeted very warmly by a lady who gave us the fascinating history of the church, and pointed out the stunning ancient artwork on the walls, and the breathtaking ancient Celtic crosses. We were all fascinated, even our grandchildren. A walk through the woods to the beach completed the day. We have vowed to return at a later date, and cannot recommend this place highly enough. Thank you once again for the warm welcome, Llantwit Major!

Travelling back home from the Mumbles , we wanted to see this place en route , as it was seared into our memory when we were in our early 20's. It is immaculately kept and a great tribute to all those children and adults who died that day .. There is a steep climb in the cemetery to get to the memorial graves, so take that into account when you visit . On a practical note , there is no signpost to the cemetery when you are heading from Merthyr Tydfil on the A4054 , so asked someone and parked near a church and walked over a footbridge to the village. There were signs from the other direction , we later discovered. This is why we are not certain about parking facilities that are closer.

We decided to take our young grandchildren to the lake at Cosmeston Country Park to feed the ducks. There was onsite parking and a large lake surrounded by woodland, walks, grassed areas, a cafe and picnic spots. There were lots of birds residing on the water and the children enjoyed feeding the swans and ducks, before enjoying a picnic. After eating, the children spent a few hours on the swings. The entire parkland was immaculate.

What an amazing park, that seemed to have everything: wood sculptures, an amazing variety of stunning trees, a viaduct, that you can walk up to and see trains travelling along, a beautiful cafe that seemed very popular, flat mown areas for walking, woods, streams and a boardwalk down to a pebble beach. We stood looking at the viaduct and noticed acorns dropping onto our heads. A ranger walked by and informed us that the acorns were being thrown at us by a group of territorial squirrels! She stated that if we watched for long enough we would see the squirrels throwing acorns at us from the 2 huge majestic oak trees. We only saw one of the squirrel, which we named "Asbo". We also named the other elusive two " Delinquent" & "Thug" Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.
