Oxwich,
From £2.00
Come and join us a stunning walk around one of Gower’s most beautiful and dramatic headlands; through beautiful woodland and across open cliffs, using a section of the Gower Coast Path. The Chain Home Low Radar Site at Oxwich Point comprises several flat roofed concrete buildings. They were part of the World War II radar network used to detect aircraft in the Bristol Channel.
Our walk starts in the village of Oxwich, where you'll walk past the Oxwich Bay Hotel.
Take a look here for an idea of where the walk will take you.
Difficulty: Moderate. The woodland section of the walk is on uneven ground, prone to being muddy and has a very long flight of steps (don't be afraid to rest half way up!!). There are no stiles on the shorter route, but there are three on the longer route. Be prepared and wear appropriate clothing and footwear for the conditions and season.
Time: We’ll walk for approximately 2.5 hours
