Route
Meet at rough carpark that is not mentioned on the OS Map. From Swansea Centre direction, Drive on A4067 towards Blackpill, on passing speed camera and Welcome to Mumbles sign on left, move into right hand lane and take right turning into Mill Lane. Follow lane as it winds, up to the rough car park on the right

A circuitous route designed and led by Tim Gronow in 1991, this walk begins by following bridleways and woodland trails to the cycle track in the Clyne Valley. The route then passes through Dunvant before joining a section of the Gower Way, taking us to our morning destination, North Gower. Upon reaching North Gower, we cross the central ridge that runs east to west across the peninsula and descend into South Gower. From here, the scenic volume is turned right up as we follow the stunning coastal path back to Blackpill
