We're back to Merthyr Mawr, but this time the hike takes in very different terrain and there is a sauna in the woods too! This walk is priced at a premium to cover the cost of the sauna and is limited to ten people.
Meeting at Candleston Woods Car Park, we'll, if possible, cross the Ogwr by the stepping stones, explore Ogmore Castle and then Merthyr Mawr village before following the northern fringe of the dunes to Porthcawl. From there it is along the beach before the final stretch, the wonderful and second highest sand dunes in Europe with the final attraction being Candleston Castle at the end of the hike.
We'll then move the cars a couple of hundred metres to the Woodland Sauna car park and get ready for an hour and a half of sweating :) The sauna is gorgeous, has a picture window, cold plunges and shower and a hot tub.
