Walking in the gower > Cefn Bryn Walk
Description: a nice short walk, but up a proper up hill, it will take you to the highest point of Cefn
Bryn (the hill which forms the back bone of the peninsular) where you will afford fantastic views over the south Gower coast, the northern marshes and the
Brecon Beacons in the distance.
Distance covered: 2 miles Average time: 1 hour Terrain: Easy under foot, but steep hills
From the end of the house follow the Church path out past the trout ponds, across the fields and through the woods. When you climb over the style next to the green gate the track bears left, you need to take the stony path in front of you and follow it up the hill.
When you meet the un-surfaced road at the top of the rise follow it to the right, you will see Cefn Bryn ( a name which translates to Hill or ridge) rising up in front of you (on your right at this point just a little way off the road are the old gravel pits, a busy industry here over a hundred years ago).
Next take the rough road on your left directly up the steep climb to the top of the hill. Look for a small grass track looping off to your left when you reach the top turn off here and sit down out of the wind to admire the views.
The road you have just walked on is known locally as Talbot's Road This was named after Christopher Rice Mansel Talbot, squire of Penrice Castle, who was a keen huntsman and would lead his hounds back to Penrice after hunting in the Parc le Breos estate.
