Overview

We’ll walk part of ‘The Gower Way’, through Park Woods to emerge onto lower Cefn Bryn.  

There we will have an iconic view of Three Cliffs Bay, considered one of the best beaches on the Wales Coast Path.

At Penmaen, we’ll stop at picnic benches for an early lunch.

We then join the Wales Coast Path with lovely views over Oxwich before heading towards Three Cliffs for a short coffee break.

We’ll follow Pennard Pill to Parkmill then ascend the lane back to the cars.
