With the first burst of fantastic weather this year and temperatures still over 70 in the early evening, it was perfect for being outdoors rather than inside.
Heading to the Vale coastline, many opt for Penarth, Barry Island, Southerndown or Ogmore but there's some other treasures in-between.
Popped to the Leys near St. Athan this evening which is unfortunately located right next to Aberthaw Power Station and near Aberthaw Cement Works - what glamour! - but for a quick blast of sea air, a decent walk and without going too far afield, it's a pretty decent place.
I got fond memories of it as a kid as power station water outlets visible at low tide used to be like a jacuzzi and wave machine combined. I've lived to tell the tale! It's also a mecca for bass fishing as the warm water there draws in the fish.
It is also officially the starting point of the Vale of Glamorgan Coastline Walk which extends all the way to Porthcawl ... ... although unofficially, it goes east as far as Barry Island. Not that I've ever walked it all but there are some great sights along there.
Anyway, enough of the chuff, have a look at the pics.
