The Glamorgan heritage coast offers scenic countryside and coastal views, plenty of outdoor activities, family friendly attractions and historic architecture.
A pleasant day can happily be spent at Bryngarw Country Park, with its lakes and formal gardens this is a fun destination for all ages. Coity Castle will impress those interested in history and architecture, built in the 12th Century by one of the Knights of the area. Newcastle Castle is also with a visit,
particularly for its impressive circular stonework, as is Ogmore Castle where Lawrence of Arabia was filmed. The ruins of the 13th Century Morlais Castle is also worth a trip.
The landscape in the area is a walker's paradise and the famous Taff Trail which follows the course of the river is great for walkers and cyclists alike.

Along the coast you can also discover Llantwit Major -a charming village with a number of interesting ancient buildings as well as pretty countryside and caves to explore. Kenfig Nature Reserve is another popular spot where endangered plants and animals thrive, it is also where you can find the last natural lake in the area.
Other attractions of note include Nash Point Lighthouse which was constructed in the mid-19th century and was the last manned lighthouse in the country, Porthkerry Country park, Merthyr Mawr Sand Dunes, and the Dyffryn Gardens and Arboretum.
