Overview

 

A short walk in northern Gower with views over Loughor Estuary.

Cawl will be available to purchase after the walk so please book with Lynne by Monday 24th November on 01792-845845 if you would like a delicious bowl of Bab’s Cawl.

We’ll walk 2 miles via Leason to Weobley and have time to buy Teas and Coffee, to explore the Castle and maybe buy some Salt-Marsh Lamb.

The 700-year-old Weobley Castle was home to the de la Bere family and a target for the forces of Owain Glyndŵr in the 15th Century. 

CADW entrance fees apply.

N.B. Remember to bring your CADW card for free entry!

We’ll then make the 2-mile return journey to The Dolphin Inn at Llanrhidian.

Stiles: One Stile (awkward).

Toilets: In the Dolphin Pub and at Weobley Castle.

Terrain: Uneven surfaces.  Some sections may have mud. Walking Poles recommended.

Social after walk:

Afterwards, we will go for refreshments to The Dolphin. 

Please buy a pint or a coffee to thank them for free parking.

N.B. There will be Cawl on sale in the pub.

Please support the village pub by purchasing something at The Dolphin.
