May Rotary Ramble

Wed, May 31st 2023 at 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

Ogmore-by-Sea to Dunraven, total walk distance approx. 3-1/2 miles.


Ten walkers plus Ben the dog met at Southerndown for a three-and-a-half mile walk from Ogmore beach to Dunraven on a fossilling foray. We located a variety of fossil corals and brachiopods before an unplanned clamber over rocks to avoid the 'high low tide'. Alan earned a Jurassic ammonite for finding several impressive coral fossils embedded in the limestone.

Several of the group walked on to the Glamorgan Heritage Coast Centre at Dunraven to view the fossil display and historical placards and chat with Paul, one of the Wardens. 


Lunch was at West Farm, perched on the cliffs at Southerndown.
