Twelve Wanderers left WVH at 10am, parking a few hundred yards off the main road that leads from Llantwit Major to Cowbridge (B4270), opposite the turn off for Topstak.
The weather was very good, with brilliant sun and no wind, we set off passing Wilton House and Farm, following the road to the right, then turning left toward Llanmihangel.
We soon passed Rectory Farm (a listed building) and then took a left turn toward Plas Llanmihangel, a grand Tudor Country Manor that dates back to the 12th century. The earliest part of the house being the stone vaulted undercroft, held by the Norris family of Penlline.

We then visited St Michael Church, a 13th century church, built on Norman foundations, in a lovely location beside the Manor House.

Leaving Llanmihangel we continued along a steepish hill toward Frampton and it wasn’t long before we were arrived at Sigingstone, a very nice village with a mix of older buildings such as Green Farm another listed building and more recently constructed houses and bungalows and a very nice pub, the Victoria Inn.
Another 10 minutes or so and were back to the cars. This was a very enjoyable short walk, in wonderful company, followed with teas, coffees and cakes at Topstak.
The total walk distance was just under 3.5 miles and took 1 hour and 30 mins (approx.)
