Dunraven Cliff Fort View all content for Dunraven

Visited 4.5.14 Directions: South of Bridgend off the B4524. There is a large car park at the entrance to Dunraven Estate £3.00 all day. There is also a small shop selling ice creams, tea bucket and spades etc. It has been a few years since I was last year. I had quite forgotten what a nice beach this is – especially on a day like today. There were plenty of people about enjoying the sunshine. I had taken Dafydd out for the day and we had earlier visited the renovated Galilee Church in Lantwit Major which now houses a fine selection of early Celtic Crosses / stones and graves – well worth a visit if you are in the area. Although Dafydd was itching to get onto the beach I ‘persuaded’ him that a walk up the headland was required first in order to have a look at the remains of the Cliff Fort. The double ditch/ramparts were a lot larger than I remembered and are still fairly impressive. The ditches were over head height when standing in them. Obviously, there were good coastal views to be had. From here we headed east along the coastal path towards the Cwm Bach Enclosure.
