The story of the monk’s skeleton on Monknash Beach, Vale of Glamorgan

Back in 2014 a couple walking on this beach had the shock of their lives. They saw human remains on the cliff tops which they naturally reported to the police. But what they had stumbled upon was a long forgotten chapter of local history. The Cistercian monks in Monknash Grange.
If you would like to do more than simply watch videos on this subject why not join me on one of the Glamorgan History Walks and Talks in the summer of 2024. Between May and June we take in 15 circuits of places of historical interest. And the settings of some spectacular folklore.

I heard they found it in the soft, sandy part of the cliff just as you get to the beach.
