Sightseeing
Parking is easy to find when you arrive at Pontneddfechan. The entrance to the walk which takes you to the falls is on the right after the Angel Inn. You will probably see some tourists heading in the same direction. The walk is really great for families and ideal if you have a dog. There are signs along the walk, just watch out for them. Gladys waterfall is to the left along the path just before the bridge. The walk then continues across the bridge to other part of the river which have cascades.

Just 24 minutes by car along the Swansea bay. The Mumbles is the beginning of the Gower Peninsula's coastline. It's a well- loved area of Swansea, filled with plenty of restaurants, cafes and little shops along the bustling main street. You can hire paddle boards or bicycles or just sit and enjoy watching the people go by. You can find the best ice-cream which is made in Wales and even buy fresh cockles and seafood from a little cabin near the boats parked along the promenade.There is a lovely walk right up to the pier and even beyond. Steps take you above the rock where the walk continues along the coastline. If you do venture further you come to Limeslade cove, where there is a great little playground and Joe's icream. The fish & Chips at the pier is a must and a walk down the steps to the little beach. A lovely day out!

50 minutes drive through the beautiful Gower Peninsula countryside to reach Rhossili Bay which has 3 miles of gorgeous sand and coastline. If you are a rambler, the walk up the mountain to Llangennith and back along the beach is amazing with stunning views across to Worms Head. There are a few cafes, toilets and ample parking at Rhossili. You can spend the day discovering the little coves down below Worms Head and visit the sunflowers which bloom from July onwards. You will make fabulous memories and surely take wonderful photographs.

A place you must see while visiting the Gower. The beach is glorious and the views are stunning. Watch the tide times when you are there as are there are strong currents in the sea and the open beach gets cut off at certain times. If you start the coastal walk which is top of the cliffs from Southgate carpark to Three cliffs Bay you will not be disappointed. There is also good parking at Three Cliffs Bay itself.

When the tide is out Aberavon beach is so immense. It's a great place for a stroll along the sand or promenade. The view across the bay towards swansea is beautiful on a sunny clear day. There is plenty of free parking, playground for young children with water park. Crazy golf, best fish & chips and a great cafe selling Italian ice-cream. When the tide is in it's also nice to walk along the sea wall and watch the waves crashing in.

A definite must when in the Neath valley. There is free parking and a wonderful walk down to the waterfall. It is in a natural outstanding beauty area which looks like a tropical forest. You can walk behind the waterfall easily and feel the spray. when there has been no rain the waterfall is not as immense but still worth a visit as you won't get wet.

The atmosphere and the food is great. The best thing for us is that Mabel our dachshund is allowed in the restaurant on the ground floor where she gets to meet other well behaved dogs. If you love dogs you have to go!

Such a friendly place to go for great food or just a drink and sit out in the sun with beautiful views of the countryside. We normally walk from Y Cwm in Skewen which is a hidden gem along the river and stop at The Loft for a refreshing drink and a bite to eat. After we head to Drummau Mountain through Duffryn woods up the wooded steps to the top and enjoy the beautiful views over Neath and the Sea in the distance.
