Overview

This delightful circular walk takes us through parkland, woodland, along a beach and up to an old castle high on a hill. Spectacular views.

We begin at the Gower Heritage Centre based around a working 12th century water mill where it’s worth spending some time finding out about the history of the area before setting off.

See Lucy’s previous walk in Parkmill.

Afterwards, we will go to the Gower Inn for refreshments.
