Another exposed and potentially very sketchy walk suggested by our mad friends who live near Cowbridge (yes, thats you M&J). Yep, it is sketchy, but so much better for being so, as the enjoyment of the naked walking is enhanced!
You park up in the car park opposite the farm, then walk down the track opposite then the path down through the woods to the beach. Take a right along the beach and when you feel comfortable, find a stash spot and get naked. How far you go before you get naked will depend on how busy it is, how brave you are and of course finding the best spot for you. This is a textile beach, so it may be a bit to sketchy for some!
Once you are naked, walk down to the waterline and turnt right (west) and continue walking along the first beach till you reach the first wave cut platform. This beach can be popular in the summer, so be warned it may be very sketchy. If you are intimidated by textiles, then you may not be comfortable walking this beach naked when it is busy. It must be said the this is the tone of the whole walk as it is overlooked by the cliff top path which attracts walkers. We enjoy the sketchy nature of some of these walks, and for us it adds to the level of enjoyment. You will also need some footwear to cross the wave cut platform at the end of the beach.
Once across the wave cut platform, the next beach is generally much quieter, and indeed is known as a nude beach locally, so you may find some other naturists enjoying the location. You certainly will enjoy the location as it is a stunning bit of coastline making up part of the Glamorgan Heritage Coast. Keep walking until the next wave cut platform which you cross, then walk to the end of the next beach, which is in an even more stunning location. An amazing place to be naked.
Although it is a beautiful location to spend a couple of naked hours sunbathing and swimming, you will be highly visible to walkers on the cliff top path, and to people looking out from the viewpoint in Dunraven Park up on the cliff top to the immediate west. That really does not bother us, and the two times I have done this walk, to be honest I didn’t see that many people.
Have fun and enjoy the exposure!
