Overview

We will leave the hotel and gradually ascend to Oxwich Point where we will pass the Trig Point. 

We’ll make our way go to the headland for great views over the Bristol Channel.

Our walk heads west on the cliff top path before circling around to Oxwich Green and the castle (N.B. The castle is currently closed). 

We then make our way through the woodland to the steps and down to the church and back to the hotel.

Afterwards, we will go for refreshments to The Oxwich Bay Hotel (Card payments only!).
