Lovely walk any time of the year, lots of shade during the hotter days. Can find a lovely rope tree swing if your lucky.

Great spot to leave the car and explore the surroundings or just to sit and enjoy a hot drink and a sandwich on a wet miserable day

This unassuming pack horse bridge is one of Gower’s hidden gems. It is a grade II listed building, probably dating back to the 17th Century (or maybe even earlier) and is likely contemporary with Western Mill; it is mentioned in a lease renewal of 1667. There is more information on a board nearby.

The trig point sits on the highest ground of Cefn Bryn, a long sandstone ridge often described as the spine or backbone of the Gower Peninsula. At around 188 metres (617 ft) above sea level, it’s not mountainous, but it feels elevated because of how cleanly it rises above the surrounding landscape. You get a rare 360 degree Gower panorama from here that makes it a must-see on a clear day.

They don't let dogs in (and, indeed, we're really unfriendly) so think carefully

Parc le Breos Chambered Tomb Superb example of a Neolithic chambered tomb. Discovered in 1869 by workmen digging for road stone, this chambered Neolithic (New Stone Age) tomb is one of the best preserved in this part of Wales. The two protrusions around the entrance display the typical style of the so-called ‘Cotswold-Severn’ long barrows of the region. Extensive excavations of Parc le Breos, which remained in use for between 300 and 800 years, revealed the bones of at least 40 separate individuals. Roughly 70ft/21m in length, the tomb consists of a narrow passageway leading to four small chambers lined with upright stones. While the tomb was presumably once covered by large capstone slabs, no trace of these stones has ever been found.

This is a super nice place, a bit busy these days, but it has food and drink facilities, camping, parking. It is basically the hub for activities in Parkmill. If you are walking from here there is a great cafe to buy sandwiches from with olive bread.
