Marvel at the cliffs of Nash Point, part of the Wales Coast Path, which offers spectacular walking routes with breath-taking views of the Bristol Channel. Nash Point is a haven for birdwatchers, with various seabirds nesting in the cliffs. Take a closer look at Nash Point Lighthouse, an iconic 19th-century structure built to warn ships of the perilous coastline.
Afterward, spend some time at Dunraven Bay, a popular destination known for its impressive limestone cliffs and rock pools. The beach is a favourite among photographers, offering scenic views and breathtaking sunsets. It’s also an excellent spot for fossil hunting, with fossils dating back to the Jurassic period.
Then, take a look at the ruins of Ogmore Castle, featuring parts of the stone keep, a curtain wall, and a gatehouse. The site is particularly noted for its picturesque location next to the river, where stepping stones allow visitors to cross when the water is low.
Next, enjoy a stroll through St. Fagans National Museum of History, one of Europe’s leading open-air museums and Wales’s most popular heritage attraction. The museum offers a glimpse into Welsh life through history with over 40 re-erected buildings, including farmhouses, a school, a chapel, and workshops.
The final stop will be in Caerphilly town to marvel at Caerphilly Castle—a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest castle in Wales, second only in size to Windsor Castle in all of Great Britain. Entrance is optional; you can also spend your free time exploring the charming town, which is filled with cafes, quaint shops, and souvenir spots.
Finally, sit back and enjoy the ride back to Cardiff to the designated meeting point, concluding a day filled with exploration and discovery.
