| National trust sign - Start of climb up to the beacon |
This was a pretty easy walk – not really “on our way” home from our trip to Devon, but we decided to fit it in anyway. At 519m, the views from the top are amazing, and the walk up there doesn’t prepare you for the fact that the Beacon overlooks the Bristol Channel and that most of the south coast of Wales can be seen sparkling (or smouldering , in the case of Port Talbot) in the distance.

| Plaque at the beacon |
At the summit is a large and sturdy cairn, perfect for climbing, with a memorial plaque commemorating the donation of the Beacon to the National Trust in 1932.
