We are the Taff Ely Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Janet and Rosa
We will be walking from Beach Road, Newton, past the old church and village green and then along woodland paths. We skirt the edge of the Kenfig nature reserve to reach the ruins of Candleston Castle. From there we follow a path along the edge of the River Ogmore and then the Wales Coast Path back to the start. If the weather is fine, there will be good views across the Channel to the Somerset coast.
There are no long steep ascents or descents. There is one very short steep descent on a sandy surface and another one on some loose stones as we approach the Candleston Castle car park.
Llantrisant Leisure Centre car park
Meet on Beach Road near the car park. The charge for the car park is £9.00 for more than 4 hours, so we suggest either car-sharing or parking on Beach Road (or nearby).
