Southerndown Sunset:

Looking over the calm waters of the Bristol Chanel to the Hills of North Devon. The sun is setting behind a thin strip of fluffy clouds, turning the sky orange and sending a ray of light across the water's surface

Haven't posted for a while as I've not been getting out and about much lately...but today I managed a nice 8km walk over #OgmoreDown to #Southerndown and back along #OgmoreBySea #Beach. Great day for it, dry and sunny and not too cold

Glamorgan Heritage Coast:

Looking along a rocky coastline of pebble beaches backed by steep cliffs. The sea is a calm pale blue and the sky mostly clear with fluffy white clouds

Porthcawl from Ogmore-By-Sea:

Looking from a grassy clifftop, along a beach of sand, pebbles and rocky outcrops. Over the the calm, pale blue sea, the buildings of Porthcawl can just be made out. The sky is mostly clear and blue with high wispy white cloud and a few dispersing contrails

An early start today for a #Wander along the #Glamorgan #HeritageCoast from #Southerndown #Beach to #MonknashBeach and back along the clifftops. Worth it for the #Sunrise alone

Sunrise over the Glamorgan Heritage Coast:

Looking along a stretch of coastline from a high vantage point. There is a long beach with sections of rock and sand, all of it backed by tall, sheer cliffs in which narrow layers of different rock types can be seen. In the middle distance, a waterfall flows onto the beach from the cliffs. The sun is rising from behind the cliffs, turning the sky golden and a bank of clouds to burn with red fire. A single contrail can be seen against a clear patch of dark blue sky

Tackled another short section of the #WalesCoastalPath today, One of my favourites, along the #HeritageCoast from #Monknash to #Southerndown. Some great views of the coast, an old coastguard rocket house and a bluebell wood in full bloom

#DailyPhoto #Cymru #Wales #Landscape #Seascape

The old Coastguard Rocket House at Monknash Beach, built in 1877 and used to store and launch rockets (with ropes attached) out to people on ships which had run aground on the rocks or sandbank.

A small, grey stone building stands on the brow of a grassy hill. It has low parallel side walls and an arched roof. It has a wide rectangular opening at the front and a smaller semi-circular opening at the rear so the deep blue sky that can be seen above, can also be seen straight through the hut.

A Bluebell wood. A narrow dirt path leads away from the camera and through an old wood. The space between the trees is packed with lush green undergrowth and pin points of bright blue flowers

Looking back to where I came from.

Standing high on a cliff a long stretch of sandy beaches separated by low rocks can be seen. The beaches are backed by high limestone cliffs with numerous rockfalls along it's length. In the distance, over the Bristol Channel, the coast of Somerset is shrouded in a haze. A single transporter ship sits in the channel.

Today's destination, Dunraven Bay, looking towards Porthcawl.

A small, slow stream cuts through rough grassland. Further on a high stone wall ends abruptly at a rocky beach, backed by high limestone cliffs. In the distance, over a grey sea, the buildings of Porthcawl glisten in the sun

A good 9Km walk today, along the #WalesCoastalPath from #MerthyrMawr village to #Southerndown, Via #OgmoreBySea. A mostly grey day but perfect for #Walking ..... #Beach(es), #Cliffs, a #Castle and #Sheep

Looking along a flat, sandy beach, A sliver of calm seen can be seen on the left with the buildings of Porthcawl on the other side of it. The sky is thick white cloud with a few small patches of blue sky poking through

Looking East along the Heritage Coast, Near to the camera is rough cracked limestone.IN the distance the coast curves to the right with a series of sheer limestone cliffs topped with lush green grass broken by rocky beaches. The sky is thick grey cloud reflecting in flat sea. In the far distance the cliffs are partially hidden by a haze

A still shallow stream, edged by low grass banks, winds away from the camera. The right bank has a row of blackthorn bushes festooned in small white flowers, punctuated by larger trees bursting into leaf. On the left hand bank is a green field populated by sheep, lambs and larger trees. A white farmhouse and the tower of the ruined Ogmore castle can be seen amongst the trees. The sky is flat grey

A young lamb peeks through a gap in Gorse bushes covered in yellow flowers. The lamb's fleece is speckled black making it look a little grubby.

Pretty miserable weather here today, so a reminder of sunnier days as a #DailyPhoto for #ThrowbackThursday; from (iirc) the hottest day of last summer, #MonknashBeach, looking towards #Southerndown. Virtually deserted even on a day like that
