Overview

Our route will take us East out of Cowbridge and on a steady climb by footpath and over farmland to The Clump where we will enjoy coffee and great views over Cowbridge and out to the Estuary.

We will then go by Roman Road, Country Lane and footpath, enjoying more good views, through Aberthin to Welsh St Donats for a lunch break.

With all the climbing done we then have an easy walk through the Vale Countryside and back to Cowbridge from the North.
