Nottage Village And Sker Point - A Porthcawl Walk Through Welsh History
Вставка

- The old village of Nottage and the rigged and remote Sker Point with its imposing old house.
Porthcawl is a relatively new town on the South Wales coast but people have been living in the area for thousands of years.
This Porthcawl circular walk takes you from the old village of Nottage along Moor Lane to the rugged and remote Sker Point.
The village of Nottage dates back to Saxon times although sins of bronze settlements have been found in the surrounding Welsh countryside.
The circular walk to the west of Porthcawl is about 6 miles but there is a shorter route that bypasses Sker Point which is only 3 miles.
On the walk, you pass the old Nottage Halt station from the days of the Porthcawl railway. The Cuckoo Bridge tramroad bridge. St David’s Well and you get to approach the remote Sker House from and angle you don’t normally see.
This route also takes you closest to Sker House.

Another vid about Porthcawl and its old harbour ua-cam.com/video/KHLPKkjBFJ8/v-deo.html
Ardderchog! Watching from Australia...as a young boy we would dare eachother to see who could stay inside sker house for the longest time! It was such a scary building as a young kid! Video da! Da iawn!
We used to go up there as well when we were kids, but we never went inside.👻
to my knowledge, a public right away, can not be undone, doesnt matter if it passes through a farmers field, back garden, council yard, if it existed at least 15 years prior to planning permission, it cant be rebuked and an alternative path must be installed by law,
I remember walking that line back to Cornelly. When I use bunk off from Porthcawl comp. But that's another story.
Were you a "Mitcher"!
Another of your walks I tried today. Can’t imagine how isolated a wrecked sailor must’ve felt in poor weather running aground there!
Yes, it is a bleak place, especially in a storm. Even today with Porthcawl nearby it still feels remote.
Really informative and beautiful camera work. Seems somewhat timeless, but perhaps it’s because I didn’t see a car for 10 minutes.
New to this channel and becoming fascinated with Wales, you’ve got a new subscriber from Maryland USA
Thanks. That area never gets much traffic but it's even quieter than normal. It did get a bit busier, I passed someone riding a horse!
Beautiful video .. thanks
Thanks
I'm in Arizona USA, such beautiful countryside. Thank you.
Thanks, Arizona is nice too although very different.
90 degrees in Phoenix today April 21st. Sunny and warm not 120 yet.
Thankyou. I really enjoyed the video & hope to have the opportunity to enjoy the walk!.
Brilliant video thanks for taking us on this walk - love all of your postings. Having grown up in Nottage area during the 70s and early 80s it brings back a lot of memories. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it

Very interesting and so beautiful! Many thanks!

Grew up with these walks as part of my childhood. Great scenery.
It is a beautiful and interesting area.
Well done Marcus another great video. Very enjoyable to accompany you on these walks. Thank you.
Thanks, there are still a couple of local ones I hope to do over the next few weeks.
Love your videos mate. Keeeeeeep posting 👍

Another great video thankyou for that
Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful day! Nice walk! ❤️
Thanks
Thank you Marcus,really enjoy watching your videos.Walked the Nottage circular route with my 3 boys on Easter Sunday (someone had left 2 Dairy Milk Easter eggs at St.David's Well) and viewed your video at different stages on the way!
Construction /keep out warning signs still there I am afraid.Quite busy along this route today.Watched about 10 people enjoying the sunshine on the patio at Sker House.I purchased a dvd recently of the history of Sker House (it also shows footage of the restoration back in 1999) from the appliance shop opposite Isabella's in town for just £5.Thanks again Marcus,take care,David.
Thanks, It's been great weather for walking lately no wonder it was busier. Glad you found my vid helpful. I have seen a clip of that Sker video of the renovation but have yet to see the whole thing. I will take a look.
👍👍 Nice one. Very interesting 👌
Thanks
Very interesting.
Thanks again.
I get sooo homesick watching these 😕 makes me want to move back from New Zealand!
I've never been but New Zealand does look very nice but I understand how you can feel homesick when you're from Wales
@@flydriveexplore I emigrated here 20 years ago with Laura Cattanach who used to work in your Mum and Dads shop she says hi!
I had a look at the old station in the summer didn't know where it was till I seen this video
Glad it was helpful
It’s St David’s Well, found it on one of your walks.
The public footpath now runs around the holiday park, it's segregated by fencing. When it crosses The Grove Golf Club, it's not well signposted but is reasonably clear. I use it often, despite the occasional quizzical look from the golfers as I disappear into the trees.
Yep, over lockdown it was quite overgrown too.
Watching from Canada. Grew up in Margam, loving your videos!!
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed.
Hi Marcus. How do you manage everytime you do a video not to see anyone on your route?! Is Iit 3 in the morning and your using CGI daylight?! Everytime I do this route there is always someone
It was a weekday but there's always an edit.
Walking through Moor Lane and came across a stone structure, can you tell me what it was please.
Where was it on Moor Lane?
@@flydriveexplore Near the road by Bodawel caravan site.
Have the cannons been identified yet?
I don't think they've been identified to any particular ship
My hood in the 60's and 70's...Shame about the development at the moor lane/west road junction. Sker house looked far better in her ruin...
The house did look spooky in the old ruined state. Apparently, the colour is what it would have looked like back in the 16th/17th century.
