Hiking

Amazing view across Swansea. It's so cool that this is so close to the city but feels like you are deep in nature in the forest. Nice to get a view across the city and Swansea beach 🫶

Hiking

The top of Kilvey Hill is marked with a stone sit down area with commanding views down over Swansea and the coast. However, the true summit is back about 70 metres away on a blank piece of ground near the masts. Kilvey Hill at 193 metres, is a UK designated P100 hill with a prominence of 140 metres.

Currently unable to access the top as they have begun work on the cable car and trails. Really looking forward to seeing the completed work.
