Overview

A walk above the Swansea Valley with great views below us.

We’ll start from the pub car park and make our way uphill onto the mountain.

There will be a steep ascent for a while which we’ll take gradually.

Part of this area may disappear under a planned solar farm, so come now and enjoy the scenery before it changes forever!

Sunset is at 9:29 p.m.
