About
Wales Coast Path
The Wales Coast Path takes in stunning scenery spanning 870 miles - making it the largest continuous coastal path in the world.
60 km of this amazing path runs through the Glamorgan Heritage Coast, from Gileston in the East, to Porthcawl in the West.
It's an invigorating route that takes in golden beaches, dramatic cliffs, Ogmore Castle and stepping stones.
And look out for the Waymarkers to point you along the path.
Always take care when walking near the cliff edge.
If you are looking for a circular route off the Wales Coast Path, there are lots of suggestions on our Vale Trails page. Numbered 1 to 10, each trail explores the Vale across 5 coastal and 5 inland routes. Routes 1-5 takes you from Ogmore by Sea in the West through to Penarth in the East. Routes 6-10 takes you through stunning countryside where you'll never be too far away from a wonderful country pub or cafe.
