School visits
Porthkerry country park has a wide variety of habitats: extensive broadleaved woodlands, wildflower meadows, streams, a small dipping pond, large recreational grasslands and access to a fine semi-circular pebble beach. These make it an ideal place for learning about our natural world.
Schools can use an enclosed woodland area for the study of trees, mini beasts and other sensory activities. A magical log circle has now been created for groups wanting to take part in Forest School activities.
The small pond can be used for pond dipping and there are nets and trays available with identification guides.
Three trails now run throughout the Park: a permanent orienteering route, a footprint walk and a wildlife trail.
The ranger service at Porthkerry are in the process of updating the education programmes that the park offers and would be happy to hear from potential users with
ideas for development.
If you would like to visit the park, please contact the ranger service on 01446 733589 or porthkerry@valeofglamorgan.gov.uk.
