Clyne Valley Country Park is a 691-acre (280-hectare) area set around the Clyne River that runs into the sea at the Mumbles seafront between Lower Sketty and Blackpill. It is a marvellous green area that covers both sides of the valley in thick woodlands of oak, birch, and beech trees. There are signs of its intensive industrial history dotted within the park, but mainly it is now noted for its extensive network of walking, running, and cycling trails.

The memorial at the Castle celebrates Gwenllian, one of Wales's greatest heroines. In 1136 she led a Welsh army against Marcher lord Maurice de Londres. The battle took place nearby and despite her bravery Gwenllian was captured and beheaded. Gwenllian was a princess by birth and marriage. Her husband, Gruffudd ap Rhys, was prince of Deheubarth; her father, Gruffudd ap Cynan, Prince of Gwynedd. King Henry I died in 1135. With no heir, England was left in turmoil. Sensing the chance to win back lands, the Welsh launched a campaign against Anglo Norman rule. Gruffudd travelled to Gwynedd to gather support. With her husband away, Gwenllian led her doomed army against a Norman counter attack. Gwenllian and Gruffudd's greatest legacy was their youngest son, The Lord Rhys, who rose to become the most important Welsh ruler of the time.
