Overview

The walk at first goes in land to Llandewi, then to Knelston, before heading Southwards to Berry. The walk gains the coast at Horton & the beach is followed to Port Eynon. Then weather permitting we will follow the cliffs to Paviland & return. Note strong gusty winds will force a more inland route to Pilton Green.
Note should extreme weather be forecast & the police advice is not to travel in the area, then the walk will be postponed for another date.

From Swansea head towards Port Eynon & the Gower. You will end up on the A4118. Follow it as far as Scurlage. Turn right on to the B4247 towards Rhossili. Follow the B4247 over a slight rise & then around a marked left & right bends at start & end of a long straight. Go slightly up hill past a converted Chapel. Continue a little further until a large white house will be seen on your left & a track leading over common land on your right. Please park just off to the side of the track as it is the entrance to the farmyard of Pilton Green Farm.
