South Wales Togging Locations

[TJJ]

I'll be in the Cardiff area for a few days soon and have a spare day to do as I please, anyone know of any landscape locations within an hour's drive of Cardiff?

Looking to stay out of the Cardiff area and would prefer the coast.
Any ideas/thoughts?

Thanks

Trevor

There's a TP meet happening soon in that area - worth a read as it talks about good locations.

I've been to Nash Point - absolutely fabulous location.
A lot of that stretch of coast cannot be explored at high tide - so check the tides.

For landscapes, you've got ...

Gower
Worms' Head
3 Cliffs Bay
Bracelet Bay
Mumbles (seascapes)



For rives & waterfalls ...

Resolven
Neath Valley (Pontnedfachan)


For flowers, lots and lots of flowers ... National Botanical Gardens of Wales

Castle Coch is a sort of fairy tale style castle not far from Cardiff, in Cardiff itself theres the bay and barrage.
Coming towards Swansea way you have the Nash point lighthouse, and a little further Southerndown with some lovely cliffs, further again and just off the motorway is Margam park and abbey, then Swansea marina, further again and the Gower coast (bit over an hour though) but some stunning beaches, Rhoissili for cliffs and a lovely sunset.

Thanks everyone, some good ideas there.

Really taken aback by the landscape, I will be back for sure!

Thanks for your recommendations.
