Whatever time of the year there is something magical about the Glamorgan Heritage Coast and Countryside. Each season has a personality of its own.
A brisk, embracing stroll along the cliffs or just relaxing on the sands with a book overlooking one of the bays; come rain or shine you hold the key to whatever you want your experience to be.…. Action packed, relaxing and reviving or a combination of both.
The Glamorgan Heritage Coast and its sister Wales’ ‘Golden Coast’ at Porthcawl is the water sports playground of Southern Wales and the closest stretch of coast to Wales’ capital city of Cardiff.
Numerous sports are available along the 28 miles of stunning coastline but surf rules as ‘king’ particularly at Southerndown and Porthcawl where the Blue Flag beaches and one of the highest tide changes in the world make it a surfers dream come true.
Some of the most breathtaking seascapes imaginable make it a walker’s paradise. It’s a great place to cycle too as its possible to reach hidden bays and scenic views that are not accessible to motor vehicles!
Additionally, the coast and its hinterland is brimming with towns for shopping, historical places and ancient villages to discover, mountains and countryside to explore and a wealth of activities, whatever your taste.
This then is ‘The Glamorgan Heritage Coast & Countryside! It’s a stunning area packed full with surprises that are guaranteed to amaze and enthral.
Experience it first hand. Its absolutely magical….. come and Share the Magic
