Overview

This is a 5-hour circular walk visiting 3 bridges, some of which have been constructed by our wonderful path volunteers

Starting from Southgate car park, we will walk along the coastal path to the stepping stones and visit the first bridge over the river into Three Cliffs by Parkmill.

We will then walk over to Bishopston Valley and cross the bridge over Bishopston River and the head up to the cliff and back over the second bridge at Pwlldu Beach.

From here, we will return along the coastal path to Southgate car park.
