out and about - 2015
10 April 2015 .............. Nash Point
If you are into coastal walks above huge cliffs, then Nash Point is worth a visit.
Situated on the Glamorgan Coast between Dunraven Bay and Nantwit Major, it is a very exposed headland area, with plenty of parking.
If you are heading west along the cliffs, you have a long drop down, across a stream, and then back up the other side - once you are back up, it is level ground for quite a distance.
This is looking back towards the lighthouse in the distance, and you can see the drop down to the stream.
I don`t think you would ever plan to use it, but this could provide an escape route off the sea if conditions got out of hand. It would be quite a climb up to the car park carrying sea kayaks, but certainly possible.
I anticipate that a bit of wind against the strong tidal current and the exposure of Nash Point could all add up to some fairly hairy sea conditions around Nash Point.
Looking westwards - or rather northwest - along the cliffs. Those are some cliffs !
I didn`t go too far along the cliffs, as I had other things to be done that day, but here is another view looking along the cliffs from further along -
Time to head back, and this is looking back south eastwards again.
I didn`t do it, but if you head east from the car park you first of all pass the lighthouse, and then I think you have about 2 km`s or so of more cliffs - at least that is what I can work out from the map. Some other day perhaps.
