Explore Vale of Glamorgan & Bridgend on foot
Twenty walks explore the coast, villages and green spaces of the Vale of Glamorgan and Bridgend, an area where dramatic cliffs and beaches sit alongside ancient history, legends and landscapes transformed after the industrial age.
Routes include Llantwit Major, Marcross, St Brides Major, Southerndown, Merthyr Mawr, Monknash, Kenfig Pool, Porthcawl, Parc Slip and Penarth. The book moves between rugged coastline, sandy beaches, dunes, nature reserves and restored industrial landscapes, while stories of wreckers, submerged settlements, ghosts and historic communities add another layer of interest.
Each walk provides clear route directions together with mapping, photographs and practical information to help plan the outing.
