Kenfig Bus Walk

The number 63B bus runs from Porthcawl to Bridgend via North Cornelly and Kenfig Nature Reserve. This bus service was recently reinstated due to popular demand, having been discontinued for a number of years.

The Walking Group will be catching the bus to Kenfig Nature Reserve, and walking back to Porthcawl through the Reserve and along the coast path. The bus leaves the new bus station at 1.24 pm, then stops at Lias Road Co-op, Fulmar Road and West Park Drive.

Why not join us for this 4 mile walk with a difference? And don't forget your Bus Pass!
