Limpert Bay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Limpert Bay (Welsh: Bae Limpert)[1] is a bay of the Bristol Channel, west of Aberthaw in south-east Wales.
The beach is rock with some sand.[2] There is a guest house[3] and a free car park next to some cottage ruins.[4] An information stand at the beach gives the history of the area, provided by the Heritage Cost.[5]
The Wildlife Trust for Wales has helped record over one thousand species at this location, sixty-two of which are of principal concern to the conservation to the biodiversity of Wales.[6]
