Welcome to Kenfig National Nature Reserve, a huge coastal dune system near Porthcawl in Glamorgan, South Wales. The nature reserve is a wonderful example of wild Welsh landscape with a 3 mile storm beach, rolling dunes and a mosaic of wetlands including Kenfig Pool, the largest natural lake in South Wales. In the summer there are huge numbers of wild flowering orchids and the air is filled with bird song. Throughout the year the site is a great place for walking and enjoying the countryside.
| Opening Times | The Reserve Centre toilets are open during office hours seven days a week. The reception is open 2-4.30pm
on weekdays and from 10am on weekends. The site and car parks are open all year. |
| Dogs | Dogs must be kept under close control at all times and their mess cleared up. Dog wardens patrol the
site and issue fixed penalties to offenders. |
| Site Access | The whole site is open to pedestrian access at all times. The site is sandy and undulating so access
for some may be difficult although physical barriers are absent. Many parts of the site flood in the winter and paths
become wet. |
| Directions from M4 | From junction 37, drive towards Porthcawl (A4229). At first roundabout take 3rd exit and drive through North Cornelly
(B4283). When out of the village turn left at the first crossroads. The car parks are on the right after about 1 1/4 miles. If you reach the golf course,
you have missed the turning. |
