We are the Tawe Trekkers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A short 5 mile walk starting from Penmaen at 10 am. We will descend to the back of Three Cliffs Bay via Notthill, the footpath here gives a lovely view of the bay. We will ascend to the top of the cliffs & wend our way around the bulk of Great Tor enjoying panoramic views Eastward, seaward & Westward. We will then take the cliff top path almost to Nicholaston Farm, before we descend to to Nicholaston Burrows & follow the footpath through the woods. We will take the path which traverses the cliff at mid-height before ascending towards St Nicholas church, Nicholaston. We will cross the busy A4118 a hundred metres or so East of St Nicholas church to take the foot path to Parsonage farm. We will then walk a short distance East before striking back West & ascending to the ridge of Cefn Bryn. We will return to the start along Cefn Bryn. The expected finish of this walk at 12:30 pm. The walk may be a little short for our more experienced walkers, however allowing 30 minutes for lunch in Penmaen. I will lead a further 4 mile walk around Lodge Cwm & Green Cwm, which also starts from the car park in Penmaen. This will make an overall walk of 9 miles.
Car parking is available, but it will be busy & muddy. Please park your car so your drive wheels remain in contact with the gravel, other wise you may become stuck,
From Swansea take the A4118 through Parkmill & then up the hill. You will become aware of a Caravan & Camping site on your left. Slow down & take a right turn in front of StJohn the Baptist Church. Follow the narrow lane over the cattle grid & the turn immediately right into the car park.
