Overview

N.B.  This is a linear walk starting in Gowerton and finishing in Penclawdd.

Peter will also lead a second linear walk back to Gowerton or you may wish to catch a 116 bus back from Penclawdd to Gowerton.

 ________________________________

This is a lovely inland walk to Penclawdd along lesser-used paths and Bridleways.  From the Golf Course, there will be fine views over Loughor Estuary.

After joining Cefn Stylle Road for a few hundred yards, we’ll descend to a footpath with more views across the estuary before joining the Active Travel Path into Penclawdd.

 ________________________________

In Penclawdd we will stop for lunch. You may like to visit the café or enjoy Fish and Chips whilst looking out across the Loughor Estuary (or maybe have an ice-cream in GG’s Gelateria!).

 ________________________________

You will then have the option to join Peter on the afternoon walk back to Gowerton.
