Overview

We will walk along paths on the edge of Gowerton to Dunvant.

These pass through the estate into woodland where mining once took place.

We’ll ascend above Gowerton and follow fields which take us through Cwm Trole.

Joining the Gower Way, we’ll walk Donkey Lane then emerge at Dunvant Square.

From there we continue over The Graig to the southern edge of Waunarlwydd.

Joining the cycle path, we head north, go past two schools then return to the start.
