Overview

From Monknash Beach car park, we walk down through Blaen y Cwm nature reserve to Monknash beach itself, where we meet up with the Wales Coast path. We follow this path to Nash Point where we turn inland to reach our coffee stop at Holy Trinity Church, Marcross. Our walk then takes us through an arable landscape with views both inland and out over the Bristol Channel, as far as Exmoor. After walking past St Donat's Church and through part of the grounds of Atlantic College we will stop for lunch at St Donat's Bay. Our walk continues along the Wales Coast Path to Nash Point lighthouse where we retrace our steps to our start point.
