Overview

A walk with panoramic views of Gower and beyond.

 _______________________ 

From Cwm Ivy, we'll make a gradual ascent up Llanmadoc Hill.  From there, (if the weather favours us), we should be able to enjoy views all round Gower. 

We'll then descend the other side of the hill into the village of Llangennith. 

We’ll join the coastal path to take us back to our starting point.
