Explore the Llantwit - Tresillian Bay
Location: Llantwit Major, Vale of Glamorgan
Taking in open coastline and rural farmland around Llantwit Major, this 5.5 km circuit offers an appealing mix of clifftop trail and quiet inland paths. Underfoot, the ground is mostly off-road, linking field margins, dirt tracks, and a rugged stretch of the Wales Coast Path, with occasional sections on tarmac.
The coastal edge brings breezy, exposed running above the Bristol Channel near Tresilian Bay, while the inland paths cut through sheltered fields and trace the wooded valley of Cwm Col-huw. With around 70 metres of climbing overall, the elevation is modest, though brief steep gradients along the valley side add some bite to the terrain. A varied, flowing coastal circuit with a classic Vale of Glamorgan feel.
