We are very lucky here in the Vale of Glamorgan to have a diverse mix of flora and fauna from great crested newts to otters, from wild orchids to bluebells. We have sandy beaches, remote coves and the Glamorgan Heritage Coast; inland there are rolling hills, country parks and historic sites. We are very proud to be part of the 870 mile Wales Coast Path, the world's longest continuous coastal walk. The area is rich in wildlife and nature just waiting to be discovered.
