Walking anywhere in Gower is an absolutely fabulous experience, from a casual evening stroll to a 10 mile hike - it will suit all levels of fitness.
Both the coastline and inland walks display the most breathtaking scenery. The Flora and Fauna grows in such an abundance it attracts an amazing array of wildlife and birds. As much of the Gower is owned by the National Trust, the preservation of the natural landscapes continues to remain outstanding.
Gower is without doubt a ramblers paradise.
Little Cilibion Cottage is on the doorstep to many of the Gower walks. When you walk out of the gate you are entering the wonderfully vast Cefn Bryn Common and the base of Cefn Bryn itself. Known as the 'the back bone of the Gower' this old red sand stone hill extends over 5 miles, allowing you the opportunity to absorb views that travel over Gower for miles and miles.
Known as 'Maen Ceti' in Welsh, Cefn Bryn is the home to many ancient archeological monuments. The famous King Arthur Stone, Great Cairn and Stone Avenue to name just a few. The common has many brooks and ponds including a natural basin pond known locally as Broad Pool. This pond is a haven to moorhens, egrits and herons chasing the food found below the lilly padded surface of the pond and you will often find the cattle, ponies and sheep of the local farmers using it as a watering hole as they roam around the common.
Cefn Bryn leads off to many walks that will take you allover Gower. The coastal walks have breathtaking scenery from the cliff walks and allows you to experience the fabulous inland coves that surround the Peninsular. Rhosili and the Worms Head are a scene not to be missed! With ocean views extending as far as Pembrokshire and Devon, there is something for everyone to enjoy!
