Overview

Leaving Dunraven Bay, we pass by the Heritage Centre on the Valeways Millennium Heritage Trail to St Brides Major where we turn NW to reach & descend the Pant Mari Flanders & Pant y Cwteri valleys. We then follow the Wales Coast Path past Ogmore-by-Sea and along the clifftops back to the start. Views across the channel to Somerset and an opportunity for a paddle in the sea! There are toilets at Dunraven Bay & Ogmore-by-Sea.
