Walking in the area of Llantwit Major, Ogmore-by-Sea, St Donat’s, St Bride’s Major, and Ewenny offers a rich blend of coastal beauty, historic landmarks, and countryside tranquility. The Wales Coast Path runs dramatically along the Glamorgan Heritage Coast, with breathtaking cliff-top views, secluded beaches, and fossil-filled coves. Walks from Llantwit Major to Ogmore-by-Sea pass through St Donat’s Castle, now an international college, with centuries of layered history and striking coastal architecture. The cliff paths are rich in wildlife and geology, making this a destination of national landscape importance. St Illtud’s Church in Llantwit Major is a notable heritage attraction, being one of the oldest Christian sites in Britain.
Inland, walkers can enjoy peaceful routes along the River Ewenny, a haven for birds and flora. The surrounding countryside provides scenic hill walks through gently rolling farmland, ancient lanes, and woodlands. Ewenny Priory, a rare fortified religious site, offers a glimpse into medieval ecclesiastical life. Historic railway lines once connected these villages, and remnants such as old bridges and track beds hint at a lost era of steam travel. Altogether, it’s a walkers’ haven rich in natural and historical diversity.
