High on the dunes above the Shore
The Borough of Kenfig has its roots firmly set in history from it castle to the North raided by Vikings and the buried city lying beneath its sands and now an internationally recognised Nature Reserve
Sker beach is one of the truly unspoilt sand beaches in Wales having no road access it remains untouched from developing hands. There has been industry here though, from a sand and gravel works in front of "Sands of Time 1" to the long "Haul Road" tracking parallel to the beach used during the late 60s and early 70s to supply enormous boulders to build the new Steel Works Harbour in Port Talbot. The base of the road still remains but is slowly being reclaimed by nature.
From the nearby seat you get a panoramic view of the Bristol coast line from Porthcawl on the left to the Steel foundries of Port Talbot then on to Swansea and the beautiful Gower.
This is the top of the High Bank popular one time with sunbathers and picnicers. Some of thes banks used to be twice the size of today's banks but due to natural erosion and sand dredging out in the bay, they are a shadow of their former greatness.
The cache was placed with the kind permission of the Nature Reserve Warden - Mr David Carrington.
There are a number of reports about nude sunbathers here, I did ask Mr Carrington about this and he did say they are not supposed to be there as it is not a designated nudist area and he has spoken to the Police and reported them. If it is a nice day please be aware and leave this for a colder day particularly if you have children.
