View of Three Cliffs Bay

Highlight • Beach

A beautiful viewpoint on the way to Great Tor. You have a great view across Three Cliffs Bay towards the cliffs themselves from here. One of my favourite views of the Gower.

Pennard Pill Stepping Stones

Highlight • Structure

On high tide, these are underwater (you can still walk across but be careful) and low tide they resurface above water. Really fun walk across.

Three Cliffs Labyrinth

Highlight • Structure

The circles were built by a hippy Moroccon in 1976 and are called the Three Cliffs labyrinth. They are always added to and when they are moved or destroyed they get re-built...

Tip by

Pennard Castle's situation is both dramatic and beautiful. From its lofty perch on top of Pennard Pill it has a sweeping view out towards Three Cliffs Bay. Though it is now in a state of disrepair, the views are superb and it is still well worth a visit.

View of Three Cliffs Bay

Highlight • Natural Monument

You have super nice views down onto Three Cliffs Bay from here. There is also a nice bench so it makes for a good picnic spot, and nearby is Pennard Castle.
