The house is situated within the Glamorgan Heritage Coast which stretches for 14 miles, from Aberthaw to Porthcawl with plunging cliffs, secluded coves and breathtaking views it is a must for walkers, cyclists or anyone with the love of the countryside.

Dramatic blue liars cliffs create stunning seascapes to rival any coastline in Britain, and combined with wooded valleys, spectacular wildlife and 2000 years of human habitation, this coastline is truly unique. However, by far the best way to explore this remote and beautiful coastline is on foot.

We especially recommend a set of walking routes that were produced by the Vale of Glamorgan Council called Vale Trails. These detailed leaflets make up a set of ten that each link up, so that you can walk the whole length of the Vale of Glamorgan coastline, including a number of inland walks as well.

The whole coastline links up a number of delightful towns and small villages via miles of country lanes. Fortunately for us, the 303 bus takes a coastal route from Ogmore by Sea to historical Llantwit Major and you are able to hop on and off the bus at various points (and old pubs) along the route. Although there are many routes that you could follow, it is quite easy to walk to a pub and catch the bus home. A walk along the foreshore is very well recommended but please ask your hosts, who will be able to advise you about the tide times and whether is possible to take a particular route.

And for those who seek a little retail therapy, we are only 20 minutes drive from the rural, yet cosmopolitan town of Cowbridge, and 45 minutes from the City of Cardiff.
