Overview

A fairly easy, mostly flat walk on firm surfaces with great views.

The walk begins by heading west along the seafront at Porthcawl.

We continue to Rest Bay and Sker Point along what is quite a surprisingly wild and rocky stretch of coast then head inland along quiet tracks and lanes into the historic village of Nottage.

From the village, we’ll make our way back to the seafront at Porthcawl.

Stiles: None

Toilets: In Porthcawl, near the promenade.

Terrain: Mostly flat and with firm surfaces.

Social after walk:

Afterwards, we will go for refreshments to a local venue.
