Overview

N.B. The start time is approximate

A morning and afternoon pair of short walks from The Dolphin Inn at Llanrhidian.  

Afterwards, there will be Cawl on sale in The Dolphin to celebrate St. David’s Day.

If you are going to have Cawl after the walk, please email to let us know you are coming so we can give approximate numbers to the Dolphin Inn. 

 

In the afternoon, we will set off east along the Marsh Road.

We then join the North Gower Road on our way to Cil Ifor Iron Age Fort with its commanding view over the Loughor Estuary.

We’ll then return to Llanrhidian along single track roads and a village path.

Expect a little mud, a climb and one stile.

Social after walk:
Afterwards, we will go for refreshments to The Dolphin Inn where we will have Weobley Salt-marsh Lamb Cawl freshly prepared for us to enjoy.
