St. Donat's is a small coastal village in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales, perched on limestone cliffs overlooking the Bristol Channel. The immediate coastline features dramatic cliffs, quiet coves and a patchwork of agricultural land, giving the area a distinctly rural yet maritime character.
The village is best known for St Donat's Castle, a medieval stronghold later remodelled in grand style and now home to the international boarding school Atlantic College, part of the United World Colleges movement. The castle and college bring a steady stream of visitors and an international community to an otherwise small local population, supporting modest tourism, cultural activity and local services while the settlement retains a tranquil village atmosphere.
