Coastal Pub Walk to the Horseshoe Inn at Marcross, South Glamorgan, Wales

This Week's Pub Walk... along the South Glamorgan coast to the Horseshoe Inn at Marcross

This circular pub walk returns to one of my firm favourites in South Glamorgan and this time to a yet another great pub. The Horseshoe Inn is a traditional village pub with log burners and a stone floor. It also plenty of courses for under a tenner plus a range of real ales that helped it earn its place in The Good Beer Guide.

If you like sea views, dramatic coves, old ruins and real variety then this pub walk is a must.

When you reach the beach, take some extra time here to enjoy the impressive rock formations of the cliffs here which are being constantly eroded. The jagged cliffs contrast sharply with the flat rock terraces of the beach which have been worn smooth over the millennia and together these make a dramatic sight.

Coastal Pub Walk from the Plough and Harrow, Monknash, Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales

Coastal Pub Walk from the Plough and Harrow, Monknash, Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales

Our long weekend on the South Wales coast gave the perfect opportunity to find some more pub walks in Wales to add to the MyFavouritePubWalks.com database. Although pubs seem to me to be thinner on the ground there than in rural areas of England, we still found a few gems that gave access to some great walks.

We started with a two and a half mile pub walk from the Plough and Harrow at Monknash which had plenty of interest with varied terrain, sea views, a dramatic cove, some old ruins and a nature reserve.

The Plough and Harrow itself is a very friendly traditional village pub that welcomes visitors as warmly as its regulars. Dating back to 1383, it is not much to look at from the outside but venture inside and you will find a very cosy interior - inglenook fireplaces, beams and heaps of history with tales of the “Wreckers of Wick” storing bodies in the bar ... so of course a number of ghosts are said to haunt the place! There are information leaflets on the tables with more details.

The food is of a high standard with good sized portions and main courses under £10. There is an emphasis on traditional dishes and the Welsh faggots went down a treat! It features in The Good Pub Guide 2008 and The Good Beer Guide 2008 and was voted Pub of the Year by CAMRA. It offers real ales and promotes Welsh breweries with a choice of 3 regular beers Hereford Pale Ale, Bass and Otley 01, plus 3 guest beers and a choice of 8 ciders.
