NEWTON TO CANDLESTON

Stroll from the 12th-century Newton Village past Europe's vast sand dunes. Begin by exploring Newton's church, a fortress built by the Knights of the Order of St John. Follow Beach Road to connect with the Wales Coast Path, leading you along the beach, Newton Burrows, and into Merthyr Mawr Warren National Nature Reserve. For the adventurous, detour to explore sandy peaks and valleys, including Wales's tallest dune, the Big Dipper. As the path approaches the Ogmore River mouth, it turns inland toward Candleston, revealing the remnants of Candleston Castle.
