Join us for a month long celebration of our very popular 10 Vale Trails, walks that showcase the very best of the Vale of Glamorgan.

On May 5th 2012, the Wales Coast Path officially ‘opened for business’ and walkers have delighted in walking part (or all!) of the routes’ 870 miles following the spectacular Wales coastline ever since. What better way to mark this special occasion than to celebrate our very own 10 Vale Trails, 5 of which follow the WCP with a month long walking festival of our own during ’10 Days in May’. Each weekend during the month of May, you will be led on a series of walks, 5 inland and 5 coastal trails exploring the Vale, led by your guide Chris Jones.

Linear coastal route which includes the most southerly point on the mainland of Wales. Experience the Vale’s diverse coastline – from quiet coves to the traditional resort of Barry Island, home to the sitcom “Gavin & Stacey”. There’s an eclectic mix of landmarks including Roman remains near the Knap, and a Victorian railway viaduct in Porthkerry Country Park.

The route is dog-friendly, with no livestock, and The BlueAnchor is a dog friendly pub.
