Penmark is a very small village found down a small country lane in the beautiful Vale of Glamorgan.

Whilst you pass through the village, make sure to discover its historic church, pretty river, and the ruins of Penmark Castle, once a grand building built by the baronial de Umfraville family in the early 13th century.

There is also a pub, The Six Bells Inn, which makes for a nice location to stop and appreciate a refuel.
