🌊🚶♂️🐕 Witness the Spectacle at Southerndown! 🌊🚶♀️🐕
Imagine a serene walk with your furry friend along Southerndown’s breathtaking Dunraven Bay, and then suddenly – boom! 🌟 Rocks start tumbling down the majestic limestone cliffs. That’s exactly what happened to Bridgend couple Anthony and Vicky with their dog, Biffy, last Saturday morning.
Known for its towering beauty, this picturesque cove is part of the Glamorgan Heritage Coast, and has always sparked whispered warnings among visitors about possible cliff falls. “We’ve joked about it happening every time we walk down there,” Anthony admitted. But this weekend, the playful prediction turned into a jaw-dropping reality as they witnessed it unfold right above them!
Anthony shared, “We were gobsmacked. My partner always pointed out the big cracks and said, ‘That’s going to go soon’. And just like that, it happened!” As rocks cascaded down, he was quick to capture the moment with his phone. 🏞️📸
Thankfully, the beach was relatively quiet, and no one was harmed. But it serves as a stark reminder of the power and unpredictability of nature. If you’re planning a visit, remember the signs: stay clear of the cliff base. Your safety comes first!
Dunraven Bay isn’t just about thrilling surprises—it’s also a treasure trove for fossil hunters and rock pool explorers. Once home to an ancient Iron Age hillfort and the now-gone Dunraven Castle, it remains a site of wonder and rich history.
Stay safe and keep your eyes peeled for the unexpected next time you stroll along this striking stretch of Welsh coast! 👀💬🗺️
