Never knew what the place names were of this walk but I recognised certain things like the road, the car park, the cliff top walks and the castle stepping stones.
as my doctor told me some 35+ years ago, you got osteoarthritis for life, (BUT) you can keep the pain at bay, by WALKING, and she was right, bless her...
Great stuff Marcus. I took the lane to Groes Farm in the opposite direction on my circular between Dunraven Bay and St. Bride’s in September - the most blackberries I’d ever seen in one place!
Always wanted to do that walk however the river has always been too high when I am back home visiting Porthcawl. I like how quiet the walk was. Shame the Pelican was shut, a great place to have lunch before tackling the sand dunes!
Hello from a former child of Nantymoel whose lived in Oxford for many years. I really enjoy your walks, which bring back many happy memories. There used to be a water treatment plant a little further upstream on the River Ogmore. Is this still operational and, if so, why is the quality of the river water flowing into the estuary so poor?

Love these walks ❤
Thanks for watching

Cheers, a nice sunny day too.

Yep, a lot of places are closed on Mondays. Away from the beaches, it's never that busy.

The treatment plant is still there, I wouldn't advise swimming in the area. The water quality isn't good at the moment.
A very pleasant, not too long a walk that one, I'll give it a go in the coming weeks.
Hope you get the weather like I had.
Awww beautiful Marcus 😍 how sad the pub was closed! Can't wait to be back!
Brill Vid Marcus, Good inland bit.
Cheers
I love Newton Beach (dogs do too).
👍
What is the source of pollution for the Ogmore river?
The main one is Welsh Water releasing sewage into the river.
