Nash Point to Llantwit Major

Another very exposed walk suggested by our friends who live in the area. The whole walk is very exposed to walkers on the cliff top path and many would consider this to be way too sketchy.

Park up at the car park at Nash Point and walk down the path to the shingle / rocky beach, then turn left and walk along under the cliff until you find a suitable spot to get naked and stash your clothes and bags. Head out to the waterline at low tide and turn left (east) and begin the naked walk. Keep walking until you get to the small bay at St Donats. This is a good place to turn back (especially if the bay is busy – although it is a private bay, so rarely is busy). If you keep going, the next major feature you will come to is another small private bay with a couple of houes at the top of the beach, again it will probably be very quiet so just press on!

More rough walking on the wave cut platform and the shingle beach leads quickly to the beach at Llantwit Major. This is close to a large village and is a popular spot, so in all probability there will be a number of textiles in evidence. This is a good place to turn around and retrace your steps back to Nash Point.

Like the walk at Lavernock, this whole walk is very exposed to walkers on the cliff top path, and the beach at Nash Point can be quite a popular spot to explore too. You will be in full view of anyone walking on the cliff top path and you may meet some textiles on the beach near the car park end, so bear that in mind before attempting this walk. You need to be very comfortable being naked in public view. Many would consider this to be too sketchy, although when I checked the walk with my wife’s best friend Marian (female) it was pretty quiet (midweek in June 2012), and we were able to walk the full distance fully naked, with no problems, only encountering about three textiles on the beach. As always we left all of our clothes and belongings at the stash point where my wife waited for us, so were totally committed to being naked for the whole walk (always the best way!).

NOTE: ALWAYS DO THIS WALK ON A FALLING OR VERY LOW TIDE, OR YOU WILL RUN THE RISK OF BEING CUT OFF!
