Llantwit Major Beach Clean - Tresilian Bay

Join a hands-on practical beach clean session with Keep Wales Tidy that will explore what we can all do to reduce marine litter whilst enjoying a short clifftop walk.

The stretch of coastline around Llantwit Major is particularly spectacular with its impressive cliffs made of layers of limestone. It is also known as one of the prime spots in Wales for Jurassic fossils, including corals, giant brachiopods, gastropods and Ichthyosaurus bones.

The walk starts in Llantwit with a short walk to the beach where we'll pick up litter picking equipment and head up to the top of the cliffs. The path then opens up onto a spectacular view of the estuary and leisurely follows the coast path passing the ruins of what used to be gun emplacements, before descending towards Tresilian Beach.

By joining the beach clean you're helping reduce the threat to marine life caused by the rubbish left on beaches.

After all your hard work we'll take a leisurely walk back to 'CF61' (formerly Llantwit Major Youth Centre) for refreshments and live music.
