Overview

Dramatic cliffs and pretty coves of Gower's south coast - an enticing prospect for an early autumn outing. 

We start at Southgate with its large National Trust car park and head west for a while, before turning inland and eastwards over fields.  The wide open skies belie how close we are to Swansea, but reaching the edge of Pyle we head down to the coast.  Wonderful coves with their tales of smugglers - Brandy cove, Pwll Du - and the rugged cliffs give plenty of photo opportunities.

Arriving back at Southgate, will we have the chance for an ice cream?
