We are approximately midway between Cardiff and Swansea, both are easily accessible;
Junction37 of the M4 is just a couple of minutes away,
from there it would take you only about half an hour to reach either of these cities.
Things to do
Enjoy a stroll along the promenade with many places to sit and enjoy our wonderful coastal views or call into one of our seafront cafes.
In summer relax on one of our award winning beaches.
For the more adventurous, there are many activities on offer.
For a wonderful day out I would recommend the
museum of Welsh life, St. Fagans. Admission free-
Here you find centuries of Welsh history set in
100 acres of beautiful countryside.
Easy to find, just take junction 33 of
the M4 and follow the signs.
