Unpretentious day out, good walk, chips and the Moon and Sixpence, Little Harp and Royal Oak all worth a visit. I used to eat lunch regularly in the Moon and Sixpence, right opposite the pier. Lovely views of South Wales.......The Little Harp popularity varies as to who is running it. I nad a really poor experience in there once and haven’t been back but apparently it’s changed hands again, so will probably have improved.
