Does anyone know any good places to run with hills in South Wales in the Vale of Glamorgan. In the Llantwit Major area? Also any good races close by that I could attend? thanks for any replies and help.

The only place i know with hills in the llantwit area is the glamorgan heritage coast path from southerndown to aberthaw power station. Nothing too steep but its a nice run. Another area close by for hills is the taff ely windfarm by brynna.
The garth and caerphilly mountain by cardiff are both good for off road running but if you want proper hills then the valleys/beacons/black mountains are the place to go.
ok, thanks for your help. Hopefully get on a race here sometime.
How far are you willing to travel? The vale is just that....a vale. You can get good running on the coast path as noted and also on the dunes at ogmore. For races check wfra website. Nearest to vale will be races on Southern valleys like gyto nydd bran.
