Southerndown Coast

Southerndown Coast is a Site of Special Scientific Interest in St Brides Major community, in the Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales. It forms part of the Glamorgan Heritage Coast, bordered by the Monknash Coast to the southeast. The nearby villages are Southerndown and Ogmore-by-Sea. The SSSI extends over 5 kilometres (3 miles) of south-west facing coastline, with rocky limestone cliffs, broad beaches and deeply fissured wave-cut platforms.
==Southerndown Coast SSSI==
The stretch of shore, cliff, cliff-top, and several short, steep valleys, are designated an SSSI both for its geology and botanic value.〔(www.ccgc.gov.uk sssi sites: southerndown coast ) accessed 5 November 2013〕 The cliffs expose the local geological strata. Carboniferous Limestone from upwards of 300 million years ago lies at the present sea level. By the Triassic period, 200 million years ago, these rocks were already tilted and eroded.〔 A new deposition phase created more sedimentary rocks, including a red Triassic conglomerate, and a creamy white Jurassic limestone known as Sutton Stone, a freestone much sought-after for carved stonework, and so widely quarried where it occurs.〔 The SSSI is in two parts. The northern section is the wave-cut platform alongside Ogmore-by-Sea. The southern section, with a short gap, covers both the intertidal areas and the cliffs and grassy cliff-tops of Dunraven Bay, Trwyn y Witch headland and the valleys and shoreline of Cwm Mawr and Cwm Bach.〔 The whole length of the SSSI is traversed by the South Wales section of the Wales Coast Path.〔(Wales Coast Path: South Wales Coast and Severn Estuary ) Accessed 10 November 2013〕
