TheCaptain visited on 10th Oct 2018 Day out exploring the south Wales coast. Walk from Monknash down to the beach and then along the clifftop to Nash Point. Several rows of banks and ditches remain in good condition defending what is left of this clifftop promontary, now well eroded by the sea into a fairly narrow area.
