Sue Salton Photography

Sue Salton's photography gallery sits in Porthcawl, a seaside town that's seen better days but still pulls in families wanting beach time without the Cornish crowds. The work on display is landscape and nature photography - Welsh valleys, coastal light, that sort of thing. It's the kind of place you'd wander into on a grey Tuesday afternoon when the beach is too windy and the kids need something to do indoors.

The gallery space itself is modest, nothing grand. You're looking at framed prints on white walls, proper exhibition style rather than gift-shop photo books. If you're into landscape work or you're trying to figure out what makes a photograph sing, it's worth twenty minutes of your time. If you're dragging reluctant teenagers round Porthcawl, they'll probably get restless after ten.

Trecco Bay Holiday Park is literally a stone's throw away - 0.3 miles, so if you're staying in a caravan or lodge there, it's an easy walk to check out. Park holidays along this stretch of coast can feel a bit samey, so having an actual gallery nearby breaks the routine of amusement arcades and chip shops.

I'd suggest calling ahead to confirm opening hours and admission charges - the details are a bit sketchy. Late afternoon light through the windows works best for viewing photographs anyway, so time it for after you've had lunch in town.
