Dare I say it, but so far we've had quite a reasonable summer, and the past two weeks have seen quite hot weather indeed! Fingers crossed for a lot more. Rachel and I had originally planned to walk this walk on Friday, but because of the hot weather we have had, we did indeed have thunderstorms and rain on that day, so we postponed it till Monday.

Driving out of town, and heading along the A48 towards Cowbridge, we parked in the car park of the new community hall opposite the old City Inn. Here is a bit of information about the area. Llansannor is traditionally a parish, until the last century comprising little more than a collection of farms spread out across Llansannor Hill (Mynydd y Fforest) and now incorporating the present hamlet of City and a collection of houses built in the grounds of Llansannor Court between the 1970s and 90's. Present day farms in the parish include Church Farm, Newforest House Farm and Windmill Farm. While agriculture remains important to the character of the area, many residents of the village are retirees or commute to work in nearby Cardiff.

Here are a few pictures from our walk!
