The Glamorgan Heritage Coast is a place of pure wonder and beauty. It's characterised by plunging cliffs, secluded coves, river estuaries, long sandy beaches, and breathtaking views across the Bristol Channel.

The protected coast spans for 14 miles (22.5 km) between Aberthaw and Porthcawl and visits some fantastic locations along the way, including Nash Point, Dunraven Bay and Ogmore-by-Sea.
