Coast Walks

Chad and Christopher took walks along the coast each day. Here's the one on the first day, when we explored the coast near Llantwit Major, walking from our B & B.

 
Second Day - Nash Point walk

 
Welsh International Storytelling Festival

While Chad & Christopher were out hiking, Lee & Thomas attended a Storytelling festival held at Atlantic College in neighboring St. Donat's. The college occupies a castle and grounds once owned by William Randolph Hearst.
(Lee took all these with a cheap Kodak camera)

 
Third day: Dunraven Bay


Fourth day: Caves near Southerndown

All of us went to see these coastal caves, between Dunraven Bay and Ogmore-by-Sea, which are only accessible at low tide.
