Dunraven Bay

We didn't know that just within 30 mins drive away from Cardiff, there is such a beautiful beach until recently we learnt about it from Samantha's blog.
This day, WG had been doing research the whole afternoon, so we decided to take a break in the evening. Weather was good, so we quickly packed some sandwiches and drove to Southerndown.

Dunraven Bay, Southerndown
Glarmogan Heritage Coast


As We drove through the village, we were greeted by the beautiful shoreline scenery. We parked at the top of a hill, and walked down the embankment and looked out to the coastline. The views were simply spectacular!

Look at this dramatic layered cliffs, they were formed by series of limestone beds within the Jurassic age millions years ago! The rock platform beneath the cliffs cut by wave action is awash at high tide.


悬崖下有很多又圆又大的石头,看起来有点像恐龙蛋。


我们走到沙滩上,奇怪的是沙滩上看不到螃蟹、

蚌壳或其他海洋生物的踪影。

已经是傍晚七点半了,沙滩上弄潮的人儿纷纷离去。

在沙滩上呆了一阵子,天空忽然暗了下来。

离开了沙滩,我们走到另一个山坡,天空又亮了起来,四周一片翠绿。我们就在满地小黄花的山坡上,一边吃三文治,一边欣赏美丽的景色。

WG不敢靠近悬崖,他说危险,原来他有惧高症啊!

我们离开时开始涨潮,沙滩不见了,

海浪重复着千百年来的习惯,不断拍打着岸边的岩石。

已经是八点半了,太阳还没下山呢。
