Exciting plans are afoot to revamp the Glamorgan Heritage Coast Centre in Southerndown! If all goes well with the council, this hidden gem could be getting a much-needed facelift to turn it into a vibrant hub for nature and history lovers alike. The proposal, submitted by Cooke and Arkwright Ltd, envisions a stunning, inclusive space that not only celebrates the gorgeous Vale of Glamorgan coastline but also amps up its connection to the local community.
What’s on the cards? Think internal makeovers with new doors and windows, a brand-new southern extension for a café, and upgraded indoor spaces for educational exhibits. Visitors can look forward to revamped picnic and play areas, a kitchen garden, and a rethought car park—perfect for a family day out!
This location, famous for its impressive tidal range and rich history, promises to become a day-out destination not to be missed. Council and Dunraven Estates are teaming up with local experts and site regulars to bring this vision to life. Everyone involved shares a common goal: to transform the current site, which has been tricky to staff and lacking in allure, into a lively and accessible heritage hotspot.
With 14 miles of unspoiled coastline waiting to be explored, drawing in hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, these improvements aim to put this centre on the map for both locals and tourists. Keep an eye out for updates as this transformation journey unfolds! 🌊🏞️ #GlamorganHeritage #CoastalRevamp #DayOutInWales
