Heritage Coastal Path
14 miles of beauty
The Glamorgan Heritage Coast stretches for 14 miles, from
Aberthaw to Porthcawl.
Drama
Plunging cliffs, tiny secluded coves and breathtaking views make
the Heritage Coast a must for walkers, cyclists or anyone with a
love of the countryside. The whole coastline is fringed with
delightful towns, small villages and miles of footpaths and country
lanes.
Explore
By far the best way to explore this remote and beautiful
coastline is on foot. The Glamorgan Heritage Coast
walk is a spectacular journey past dunes, cliffs and
coves, rich in wildlife and history.
At Dunraven Bay, Southerndown, a sheltered
sandy beach is backed by Dunraven Park's 56 acres of green
hillside. Dunraven Bay is also home to the Glamorgan Heritage
Coast Centre where you can find out about the history, flora
and fauna of the area.
Close by is Ogmore-By-Sea, another popular
spot. This village, perched high on the headland, enjoys panoramic
views over the estuary of the River Ogmore and as far south as the
Devon coast.
