From the car park, walk down to the riverbank and read the information boards that set the scene for this walk. Now turn right and head towards the motorway bridge. (The route follows the Wales Coast Path as far as point 3.) Pass through a kissing gate and follow the path to reach a residential road and the village of Sudbrook. Continue, bearing right at the pumping station. A short distance further go left over the level crossing to Camp Road.
2
Walk left, Camp Road becoming Old Row, then a footpath. You soon reach the ruins of a chapel and pass through Sudbrook Fort. Thought to be late Iron Age, now much eroded on its seaward side. Follow the line of the coast across the fort to reach a kissing gate with surfaced path beyond and continue, with a derelict paper mill to your right. Keep on the path to reach a further gate.
3
Fork left here, passing beneath the motorway then bearing right, walking with the foreshore to your left. Pass through a pair of kissing gates, where the path continues along the dike. Keep to this elevated route until you draw level with a footbridge over the motorway. Go right to cross this, then beyond a gate, follow the surfaced path over open ground beneath sets of power lines to reach a driveway, go ahead here, leaving the Coast path, heading over the railway, to enter a housing estate.
4
You are on a bend in the road cross over to the road opposite and follow this, walking parallel to the railway beyond the bungalows to your right. Ignore turnings right and left, continuing as the road finally bends left to meet a main road. Turn right here and walk ahead until you reach a right turn, ‘Denny View’. Take this, crossing to the left side of the road, and follow the road that eventually bears left.
5
Just beyond ‘Estuary View’ on the right (not signed), go ahead on a tarmac path (next to a sign for Moorlands View) to a road. Go right here and walk to a junction at the end of the road. Cross left here, with a level crossing on your right, and go over a stone bridge with ‘Pill House’ on the right. At the end of the road, continue along a path with industrial units either side, then a railway on the right. The path leads you across the track, beyond which you follow the path over grassland to the far left corner of the field.
6
Continue on to reach a playground, cross the car park and go through the wooden gate into Harold's Park. Now go ahead to the right of the church where a gate gives access to a road. Turn left and walk to a junction. Go right here, crossing the road with care and walking as far as a wooden bench.
7
Just a little further, on the right the Portskewett Inn makes a handy mid-point refreshment stop; however your walk continues up to the left by the bench along a tarmac drive. Follow this bearing right to reach a kissing gate. Beyond, walk across the pasture with the fence to your right. Keep in this direction through a further four kissing gates.
8
Now aim for the right side of the brick bungalow and go through a further kissing gate to reach a road. Turn right and walk to a junction, then go left for a short distance before crossing with great care to a metal gate on the right. Beyond the gate, take the track to its end where you pass through a large metal kissing gate on the left, adjacent to a gate.
9
Now walk the length of the meadow, passing beneath power lines and passing through a metal kissing gate in the far left corner. Follow the path, boundary left, to its end where you go through another kissing gate to reach a field corner. Go ahead along the top left edge of the field, passing pylons and descending to a final kissing gate.
10
Climb over and go ahead over a concrete bridge following the farm track, then leave the track to go into the field on the right. Now go diagonally across the field aiming for the old Severn Bridge in the distance. At the far end of the field climb a stile just to the right of the pylon, then in the following cropped field go diagonally right to the far corner.
11
Cross the footbridge, then a gate, and walk over the railway, passing a further gate at the far side. Go ahead to climb the dike.Fine views now, as you turn right and follow the elevated path, passing through a kissing gate and climbing a stile to cross a stream with Charston Rock visible at low tide.At the end of the dike you reach a low stone wall, climb over and continue for a short distance to a kissing gate.
12
Cross the following field bearing right, to go through a kissing gate next to a metal gate at the top of the field. Go ahead on a cinder track, over a disused railway, to reach a lane. Turn left towards the car park, but before going into it, continue on through a gate and down to the foreshore.
