We head straight for the Glamorgan coast with its delightful small villages and superb beaches.
Our first stop is the beautiful Dunraven Bay at Southerndown. The cliffs rise over 200 feet and there is a large expanse of golden sandy beach when the tide is out.
We drive along the coast road, calling at the ruins of Ogmore Castle and ancient stepping-stones across the river, to the picturesque village of Merthyr Mawr with its thatched cottages and windswept sand dunes, Britain’s largest dune system.
We continue to the seaside resort of Porthcawl for lunch overlooking the sea at the Seabank Hotel, followed by a visit to the tranquil Rest Bay, where you can stroll across grassy Lock’s Common or explore the secluded sands.
We continue to the market town of Cowbridge, known as the ‘Capital’ of the Vale. Its busy main street is lined with fashionable shops including picture galleries, antiques stores, designer clothing, jewellers, pubs and restaurants.
Our final stop is at Dyffryn Gardens. One of the finest and largest landscaped gardens in Wales set in 70 acres of parkland.
