Once again photos don't correspond as I take them with one phone whilst recording the hike with another

Great circular walk! In the last third of the walk (we hiked counterclockwise), between Porthsychan Beach and the lighthouse, we were able to spot seals...the view from the very top—Garn Fawr and Garn Fechan hillfort—is magnificent.

There's not much else to tell. The pictures show the classic highlights. …
