Local Dog Walks

Llanwit Major Beach
Unnamed Road 3.87 miles

Location what3words lyricism.grips.pelting

The Knap
This Is A Very Varied Walk. Start At The Beach - It Is Very Pebbly And Steep But The Dogs Love Sniffing Around In The Rocks For Little Bits Of Fish Or Crab. After That, Walk Along The Coastline Up The Grassy Path To See The View From Watch House Bay. I Then Recommend Heading Back Towards The Beach To A Street Called Bron-Y-Mor. There You’Ll Find Some Really Dog Friendly Cafes Where You Can All Get A Drink. Glan Hafren Maes Y Coed Barry CF62 6TA 5.00 miles

Location what3words parkway.admire.consented

Nash Point
Private Beach, Just £3.00 To Park With Cafe. Marcross 6.11 miles Car Park £3.00 For The Day But I Camped Overnight For £15. There Is A Cafe With Rude Grumpy Owners. Views From Clift Top. Walk Down Onto Beach Which Is Rocky At The Start But When Tide Is Out There Is A Long Sandy Stretch Under The Cliffs. There Are A Couple Of Loops Out Along The Clifts And Back Round To The Car Park - Some Very Large Styles That You Would Have To Lift Dogs Over.

Location what3words kicked.terms.delays

Cosmeston Park And Lakes
This Is A Fab Place To Go Both With And Without Dogs. There Are Completely Fenced Off Areas Where There's No Chance Of Escape But Also Woodland Walks And A Huge Lake For The Dogs To Swim In. 46 Elm Grove Rd 8.91 miles
