Walk - Arthur's Stone & Cefn Bryn (08 Feb)
Reynoldston, Gower, Swansea
From £3.50
Cefn Bryn and Arthur's Stone Walk
Cefn Bryn is known as the backbone of the Gower Peninsula and at it's highest point is Arthur's Stone; a mysterious neolithic burial chamber, dating back to around 2500BC, capped by a 25-tonne quartz boulder. Legend has it that while travelling in Carmarthenshire, King Arthur removed a stone from his shoe and threw it across the Loughor Estuary. By the time it reached its final resting point at Cefn Bryn (and who can blame it for stopping in Swansea Bay!!!), the stone had become an enormous boulder.
The view from here is fantastic. You've got a 360 degree view of Gower and over the estuary towards Llanelli and Pembrey. On a clear day you can see south to Lundy Island and the Devon and Somerset coast.
Cost: £3.50 (includes transport).
Walking time: Approx 2.5 hours
Difficulty: Moderate
Essential: sturdy trainers or walking boots and a waterproof jacket.
Bring your own food and drink.
