It’s a very special place. You were lucky. I’m surprised that the Coast Path isn’t more popular.

Beautiful memories. Walking there I could almost imagine being 19 again; it was worth it for that alone! 😁 I considered walking back towards Pennard over the downs, to avoid the less scenic roads around Crofty; it would make a nice circuit.

What a beautiful warming memory

Yes, totally. Nice & quiet, with a superb beach :-)

You should! There are plenty of places to stay along the way, and it's an amazing coastline

Aw, thanks 😊

Thanks. The North coast might not be as scenic as the rest of the path, but it is very beautiful too. At least, I suppose it is when it’s not raining heavily 😁

My old walks. Summer it's georgous

Cheers. The weather was a bit grim, yes 🙂

Thanks Debs; I'm really pleased that you enjoyed it - and the hot chocolate :-)

That’s great. It’s a gorgeous path, full of variety. And hopefully you will get better weather than me 😁 It’s part of the Wales Coastal Path, which is marked on the Ordnance Survey maps and by frequent (but not dependable) signposts. I’d suggest doing fewer miles per day than I did, to allow enough time to enjoy it. The excellent campsite is at 3 cliffs bay; threecliffsbay.com/ The 2nd night I camped in the dunes at the North end of Rhossili Bay. The only campsite around there is Hillend, which has minimum stay of 2 nights, so is expensive!! I spent a last night camping at Gowerton, but the road there from Crofty is grim, so I wouldn’t bother; just get bus back to the start. Hope you enjoy it; let me know how you get on!!

Hi. I'm really pleased that it has inspired you to try the Gower path. Yes, it's a good route to start out trying, because there are plenty of places to stop for food & drink, and campsites along the way, too. The walking is surprisingly physical, with plenty of ups & downs along the way, so it's best to limit your daily mileage, and book campsites along the way (NB be warned; the Hillend campsite at Rhossili is expensive, and insists on 2 nights minimum...). The section after LLanrhidian is pretty featureless road walking, so I recommend stopping there and getting a bus/taxi back to the start. Good luck!

It's Three Cliffs Bay Holiday: threecliffsbay.com/ A bit of a walk up from the beach, but well worth it :-)

Great to see one of my fave locations on video. The Gower is a wonderful coastline and I have spent many an hour down there on various beaches. I have walked a fair section of the coast but not all. One of my fave walks is from Rhossili to Port Eynon - I park up in NT Car Park, walk to Port Eynon then bus back after a bag of chips. There is a family of chough on the section near Fall & Mewslade Bay I look out for. Rhossili has got to be my fave beach of all time. If you thinki Rhossili is a big beach you ought to check out Pendine or Pembrey Sands - both VERY large beaches. It's a pity the section around Whiteford Beach was shut - there is a very old abandoned lighthouse on the corner - made of cast iron, built in the 1860ts. The Gower Salt Marsh lamb is stonking if you are into meat. Charles, I would think your statement as the most beautful coast in Wales would probably be a conversation piece in many a Welsh pub. It certainly is one of my faves and ranks high on evryones list who has ever seen it - I would hasten to say though, put the PembrokeshireCoastal Path on your itinery if you haven't done it - I have walked sections of it and it is stunning. I have the PCP book by Jim Manthorpe as a friend & I had decided abt 8 years ago to do it (193miles) but sadly he died suddently. I have since walked parts of it but not much. atb Al

Sorry Al; I realised that in a moment of lunacy I had uploaded the unfinished edit of the video, so I have replaced it with the finished version.

Nice to hear from you again :-) I did the PCP in my youth a couple of times, but being young and stupid I attacked it and did 25-30 miles every day, which was exhausting and meant that I didn't have time to appreciate the scenery.
