We are the Merthyr Valley Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Starting From The Penmaen Car Park (there are sometimes cows in and around this car park so please on arrival keep dogs on a lead) We soon join the Gower Way and loop round through Park Woods and downhill to the valley floor we then ascend ,fairly gradually up the side of the valley to Pennard Castle (and the classic view of the bay) its then along the top footpath to briefly join the Wales Coast Path before we ascend to Pobbles Beach then its across the firm sand to the impressive three pronged rock outcrop that gives Three Cliffs Bay its Name - option to walk/paddle through the short passage the sea has carved through this rock. We now have to cross Pennard Pill (which may involve paddling across so please bring a small towel to dry your feet, it won't be any deeper than mid calf but is usually deep enough to go over boots) Once across we will head across the sands towards the promontory of Great Tor (which if I've calculated the tides right we can walk round to Oxwich bay) we walk across some of Oxwich bay then into Nicholaston Burrows before we climb up into Nicholaston Woods and back towards the car park taking in the viewpoint on the way.
Some of this walk is dependent on the very low tide, and may have to be altered slightly if the wind is strong driving the sea levels higher.
Booking is essential
