Overview

A repeat attempt to complete this circular walk visiting landmarks associated with 3 of our kings. 

(Unfortunately, the walk on 4th January was hampered by icy conditions underfoot!).

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

From there, we walk via the summit of Cefn Bryn to a memorial which celebrates the opening by (the then) Prince Charles of The Gower Way Long Distance Path.

We will continue to 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 then return to Southgate car park via Cefn Bryn and along the coastal path, passing Great Tor. 

Social after walk:

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