Vale of Glamorgan Coastline - Llantwit Major to Rhoose
Saturday 4th November
We caught the train to Llantwit Major and walked the coastal path to back to either Rhoose or Barry depending on how tired you felt. We would have gone across country to Rhoose but the rainfall we had had recently would have meant soem very wet conditions underfoot especially one of the valleys that has the river running through it.
The thirteen walkers set out from Llantwit Major station on their 9 or 12 mile walk, by walking through the town towards the beach and the coast path. It was a very easy walk with not many hills. The hardest part was probably walking on the beach at Aberthaw powerstation and on the concrete walkway that goes around the station.
We stopped for lunch at Pleasant Harbour which is an area of salt marsh before walking through the caravan park at Fontagary. As we approached Rhoose the party split into two with those who wanted the longer carrying on the coast path to Barry, while the majority walked up to the train station at Rhoose.
i caught the train as I had done much walking lately and also so that I would be home in time to watch Wales play Australia.
It is a very good walk to do.
