Sand dunes at Merthyr Mawr

This is really just to give you an idea of where we went today - never seen anything like it before! Fantastic!

First of you have a gorgeous drive here then you walk through these stunning dunes and then find yourself on a great beach!

From wiki:

Quote:
Nearby are the Merthyr Mawr sand dunes, where scenes from Lawrence of Arabia were filmed. The biggest sand dune in Europe can also be found there, known locally as "the big dipper". The River Ogmore flows through the village.

Re: Sand dunes at Merthyr Mawr

You have made my day Azz!

The sand dunes at Merthyr Mawr I spent hours playing here as a kid, when we went down to see the family, we'd go here for the day.
It's as gorgeous still as I remember it.

Sorry these are great photos. My faves are 3 and 5.

Re: Sand dunes at Merthyr Mawr

Didn't know you used to live in wales Moon!!! And don't apologise, it's super-fantastic to hear that others have visited or have memories about any photos I've taken. Kindof makes them more worthwhile posting!

Claire - I would love to live near there too! And yeah say those cute little cottages but was too knackered to photograph them All the recent pics I posted were taken over two days; Saturday - Dunraven Bay beach area, Sunday - Merther Mawr and Ogmore beach area

Jols, I wish! But it is stunning, didn't feel like being in the UK at all!

Ca - thanks!

Thanks all!

Re: Sand dunes at Merthyr Mawr

I wish I had grown up there, no my Mum is welsh ,so I am half welsh, and I have a lot of family in South Wales. I used to spend summer holidays etc down there. It is a beautiful place, and I remember the huge sand dunes well, and playing on them with my brothers I vaguely remember a pretty village nearby, but I always wanted to get to the sanddunes

You will have to go again and take more pics!
