We will pick you up and show you that between two of Wales largest cities lies a strip of the Welsh coast that is both beautiful and refreshingly unspoilt. Sitting next to the ocean, this impressive stretch of coastline encompasses wildlife rich river estuaries, sandy beaches, limestone cliffs, rock pools and sweeping ocean views. This 6.5 mile walk along coastal paths starts near the pretty village of Ogmore-by-sea. We will then proceed parallel to the sea along sandy beaches and clifftop paths with sweeping views across the sea to the English coast, a dream for photographers and lovers of ocean views. You will then stop for a rest at the picturesque Dunraven Bay, a beautiful cove of sand and shale with numerous rock pools where you can enjoy some delicious Welsh snacks and even paddle in the sea. **Some nationalities may refer to this activity as a hike rather than walk**.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle

My son organised a day out with a guide to go over crib goch on Snowdon, it was the last path left to do and one to do with out me his Dad slowing him down ( I'm 58 he's 17). We met up with James, who's knowledge and advice about futher walks in the area was very helpful. My Son won't thank me but he came out of his shell that day and since that memorable day has had me to the top of Snowdon for my 7th time and his 8th. We have just got him a voucher for next year once we get to near normality.Thanks once again to James for a day that changed my sons life and a day he will remember forever

We spotted a few signs for the distillery whilst we were in the area so thought we would check it out. We had a great time talking to Patrick and bought a couple of bottles of gin whilst we were there. Would definitely go back and have already recommended it to friends and family.

Our walk with Simon was really enjoyable and i felt very confident letting Simon lead the way. He was well prepared and communication and instructions prior to the walk were clear and easy to understand. He was very professional and informative and was not only able to share his knowledge around the local area he was also willing to share his experience to help us plan for our upcoming trip to Everest Base Camp. Simon ensured he walked at our pace and always had one eye on the weather. He was always willing to tweak the route for us to explore the rocks and things in the distance which made us feel that the walk was really tailored to our sense of adventure. Overall it was a fantastic day and i would definitely recommend him to friends and family.

The woodland is naturally regenerating and it it 'always' has been, the rivers haven't changed the landscape for 10,000 years... Step back in time with us on a geological journey that just happens to take in four rather spectacular waterfalls in some stunning surroundings. Andy has been delivering walks at this location for over thirty years and his knowledge of the area, it's industrial heritage and it's natural environments, will be his to share with you as you take in the best valley walks in Brecon Beacons National Park! Lilly said 'Andy is simply an amazing person! He’s an excellent guide, delivering amazing outdoor activities in Wales. Being new to Wales, joining Andy’s tours has been for me a great opportunity to get to know Wales. The waterfalls walk is wonderfully led by Andy whose expertise perfectly matches with the beauty of the place.'

As always a great trip. Despite the unexpected weather conditions Andy adapted the route to ensure a safe ascent and we were treated to magnificent views and clean crisp white snow. Andy as usual kept the conversation and banter going the whole time, and is a mine of knowledge about the area. An enjoyable and memorable first time up Snowdon and I am already planning my next trip

With Snowdon being popular it's paths can become very crowded indeed. However, the path we will take only ever has a handful of walkers and midweek we'll have it to ourselves! This is remarkable as Snowdon is quite rightly the most visited mountain peak in the UK. This allows for our tour to the summit of sSnowdon to be a relaxed event and one with a true flavour of isolation. A true mountain experience, so to speak

Inclusions: First Aid Kit

Exclusions: Lunch

Andy is an excellent guide, keeping you entertained yet is always professional! He makes sure everyone everyone feels comfortable and safe, and facilitates a really welcoming environment. I would also highly recommend this tour, as the waterfalls are beautiful and it's a nice distance. You feel like you have had a good walk but aren't dying by the end! It's useful to have a guide too as it can be easy to get a bit lost in the area.

Let us pick you up and take you to this place of immense beauty. This 5.5 mile walk along uneven paths takes you along riverside scenery, with steep sided wooded valleys and four breath-taking waterfalls. In a National Park renowned for its sweeping, barren, mountain scenery, high peak lovers are in danger of missing out on this hidden gem. This pocket of dramatic limestone scenery where 4 stunning waterfalls are within a relatively short walk of each other is a truly unique location like no other in the UK. The highlight of the area is Sgwd yr Eira, where you'll venture right behind the gushing torrent of water, a truly unique and memorable experience that you won't forget. **Some nationalities may refer to this activity as a hike rather than walk**.

Because of terrible weather and the recent Coronavirus outbreak I couldn’t go on my South Wales Coast Walk after doing the Pen-y-Fan walk the day before. Even though I was disappointed I wouldn’t be able to explore the beautiful coast, my Guide was very negotiable and gave me a full refund. He was a very nice guy and I highly recommend Walk South Wale tours!
