Tiger Bay Ramblers (TBR) is a walking group for people of working age. It is based in Cardiff but walks across South Wales and beyond.
The walk starts in St Brides Major, opposite Farmers Arms Pub, near the large pond. We will follow the Vale trail through fields to reach a small wooded valley, following a track until we reach Dunraven Bay. Please note there may be cattle grazing in the fields. We then pick up the Wales Coastal path until we reach the cliffs, we then walk through a grass gully and follow the coastal path to Ogmore. From Ogmore we follow a narrow path along the estuary with views across to Merthyr Mawr. We then cross the road to a sandy path and steadily climb to Ogmore Down where we pick up the Vale trail across the Down until we arrive back in St Brides, near the Fox and Hounds.
This walk is mostly flat with some short climbs, and a gradual climb at the end.
We will be walking through fields, woodland, the Wales Coastal Path, sand dunes and will be skirting around Southern Down golf course. There will be a small amount of road walking along pavements and wide verges.
