Southgate to Cefn Bryn Circular Walk via Three Cliffs Bay

strenuous-icon

Leaving the carpark, we follow the coastal path to Pobbles bay, and drop down through sand dunes to the spectacular Three Cliffs Bay. Over the beach steppingstones, we follow the coastal path through wooded area and up towards Penmaen. This is a steep sandy ascent. Reaching the cliff top, we continue on the coastal path with views of Tor Bay and towards Oxwich. Walking inland, we cross the main south Gower road and walk up to Cefn Bryn behind Nicholston House. Turning east, we walk on top of Cefn Bryn and back down to Penmaen, passing through Three Cliffs Holiday Park, where there will be an opportunity for a refreshment stop. We return via Northill woods towards Parkmill and over Pennard Golf Course.

The carpark is a 2-minute walk back through the village.
