Overview

This is a circular walk visiting landmarks associated with 3 of our kings.

The walk will also take place just before Epiphany, which is called ‘The Festival of the 3 Kings’ in Spanish-speaking countries. 

Starting from Southgate Car Park, we will walk to Pennard Garden Society Wellness Garden where a tree has been planted to commemorate the coronation of King Charles III.

From there, to the summit of Cefn Bryn where a memorial celebrates the opening of The Gower Way by Prince Charles.

We will visit King Arthur's Stone which is believed to have been visited by King Henry VII’s army on their way to victory at Bosworth.  

Our last landmark will be the King Arthur Hotel. We will return via Cefn Bryn and along the coastal path via Great Tor to Southgate Car Park. 

Social after walk:

Afterwards, we will go for refreshments to the Southgate Club.
