St Donats is a small coastal community in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales, perched above the limestone cliffs of the Glamorgan Heritage Coast with sweeping views across the Bristol Channel. The surrounding landscape mixes agricultural land, pockets of woodland and dramatic cliffside paths, making it popular with walkers and visitors looking for quiet bays and rugged shoreline scenery.
Historically centred on the imposing St Donat's Castle and its medieval church, the village has an outsized cultural presence thanks to the international boarding school, Atlantic College, which brought a cosmopolitan buzz and events to the locality; the local economy is a blend of agriculture, education and tourism, with nearby towns such as Llantwit Major providing additional services.
