Porthcawl RNLI Lifeboat Station

Porthcawl RNLI Lifeboat Station is an operational inshore lifeboat station where the volunteer crew provide an on-call 24/7 search and rescue lifeboat service. The station houses both a D Class and an Atlantic 85 inshore lifeboat. The station has a gift shop which is open daily and it's possible to view the lifeboats and tractors from the shop (when they're housed within the boathouse). On weekends the main boathouse is often open to the public with volunteer visit guides on hand to answer any questions. The lifeboats are launched on training exercise most Sunday mornings between 10am-12pm. Porthcawl RNLI was Wales' busiest RNLI station in 2018, launching 112 times - assisting 144 people, saving 8 lives. The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea.

St. John The Baptist Church

Reviewed By Theoldishgirlyandhim

Very picturesque little village of Newton which is just outside the main Porthcawl area. 2 pubs, village green, and a pretty, little church! Pretty in Summer, very lovely covered in Winter's snow!

We love this walk its ideal if you have problems getting around because the laid pathway is even and accessible to push chairs, wheel chairs and buggies. Ideal for young cyclists so much freedom and such a lovely walk.
