The book covers 12 short linked walks along the coast linking the end
of the Heritage Coastline at Gileston/Aberthaw with Cardiff Bay. There was an intention by
the former South Glamorgan County Council to make this the Glamorgan Seascape
Pathway, a continuous right of way via Barry and Penarth, hence the books
title. There are another 40 walks inland from, but in sight of the Bristol Channel, making
a short walk for each week of the year. However, walks may be linked, and many are
circular.
Sites
of outstanding natural beauty, and of architectural interest, are included in the walks,
and the book received an ARWAIN Millennium Award from the Wales Council for Voluntary
Action, because of its intention of saving these routes from any further development and
encouraging people to become more healthy.
