Climbing from the village of Wenvoe the walk is through the rural Vale visiting the spectacular 6000 year old Tinkinswood burial chamber which at around 40 tons boasts the largest capstone of such constructions in Europe. We will then have a bonus tomb, this time one with many tales of hauntings associated with it. In order to exorcise these demons, two  charming Vale churches will be visited and also we will glimpse the latest National Trust acquisition in the Vale, Dyffryn House and Gardens.
