Best Outdoor Activities in Porthcawl

"The tunnels beaches are some of the most unique beaches in Ilfracombe – they are a network of secluded beaches that are connected by Victorian tunnels. These tunnels were carved out in the 1820s to give tourists access to the beach, as before this they had to clamber over the rocks!. The beaches are still open to the public, but you must pay a small fee to enter."

"Steeped in history, Tunnels Beaches makes a fascinating visit for all ages. Hand carved in the 1820's, the four tunnels provide a truly unique experience. Read extensive history information throughout the site – including hilarious guides to Victorian etiquette for boys, girls and for when boating with ladies!"

Due to COVID-19 the centre is operating under limited numbers and only accepting online bookings. You are also encouraged to bring your own equipment if possible (don't worry if you can't - there is an online system to hire equipment if needed), and to always remain socially distanced."

"Located just ten minutes from Cardiff city centre, Cardiff Ski and Snowboard Centre is the perfect place to practice your skiing and snowboarding by hitting the dry slopes. Prices for recreational use are reasonable at £12-15 for one day, including equipment hire!. It’s definitely more accessible than a lot of indoor snow-based experiences."

"rock pooling | rock jumping | shell collecting | epic Sri Lankan curries (Summer only). Barricane Beach near Woolacombe has an amazing Sri Lankan curry shack – a must visit whilst holidaying in North Devon. Barricane beach is a tiny cove with one big fat Summer draw – the Sri Lankan beach shack."

"Rockham Bay is a little known beach on the coastal track from Morte Point to Bull Point. Rockham Bay is one of the secret beaches in North Devon, generally only known by locals or campers who stay in the magnificently positioned North Morte Farm campsite slap bang on the coastal fields, only 50m from the beach. Owned by the National Trust, Rockham is a secluded rocky sandy beach, fabulous for rock pooling but sandy enough for kids."

"Owned by a self-confessed 'failed actor', this friendly, attitude-free bar has something on most nights, whether it's a quiz, live music, comedy, theatre or a movie screening (there's a little cinema attached)...."

"Ty Glas Avenue, Llanishen, Cardiff, South Glamorgan, CF14 5DX.

"With its carefully created vegan and veggie menu, Herbivore sets up shop at Cathay's Embassy Cafe every weekend, serving imaginative and homemade dishes. Cauliflower and cumin fritters or rose rice pudding are just two of the unique-sounding dishes from the ever-changing menu. As well as being found at The Embassy they have monthly supper events around South Wales."

"This coffee shop is always full of students and often has queues extending outside the door; they pride themselves on good coffee not quick coffee. It is located on Colum road, right next to the Arts and Social Studies Library, and on the way to most of the university residences in the Cathays Campus. It will provide you with your dose of caffeine before a morning lecture and can also help you stay productive during long study hours in the library."
