Safety First
Between Dunraven and Monknash walkers will find ladders erected on the cliff face. Please note these ladders were installed many years ago and are only intended for emergency use only, providing a means of escape from the beach during high tides. They are not designed or recommended for accessing the beach from the top of the cliffs and should only be used as an emergency egress. Signage has been erected in various places to advise of their intended use for emergency purposes only.
Visitors should always be aware of tide times when entering beaches and coves like those found on the Glamorgan Heritage Coast. There are many locations where it is possible to become trapped by the rising tide.
