Home to the most southerly point in Wales, the Vale of Glamorgan is perfect for those who love the outdoor life and discovering towns and villages packed full of traditional charm and character.

 

The county’s dramatic coastline, which includes part of the 14-mile Glamorgan Heritage Coast, is a mix of golden sandy beaches, spectacular rugged cliffs, secluded romantic coves and breath-taking views. The Vale is ideal for walking and cycling holidays, while if you know your swell from your wipe-out then you'll love the surf on our coastline as well.

 

You can criss-cross the Vale’s rolling hills and green countryside to spend countless hours exploring our fascinating towns, legendary villages, castles, parks and gardens. The area is brimming with history, and includes the Tinkinswood Burial Chamber, which is even older than Stonehenge.

 

All ages are spoilt for choice by a wide variety of places to go and things to do. The Vale is also compact enough to let you get around quickly and fill your days with plenty of different activities, either as energetic or relaxing as you'd like.  

 

Everything you need to know about a visit to the Vale can be found on this website, while you can also request our free brochure and mini guides to browse at your leisure.
