In the second edition of 'Weatherman Walking' series, Derek Broakway takes a really interesting 7 mile stroll along a section of the Gower Peninsular that looks like a walk we would certainly be able to enjoy during the summer months.
This was a circular walk starting and ending on the beach at Caswell Bay. For the first mile, the route followed the coastal path from Caswell Bay to Brandy Cove and then Pwll Du, which translated into English is 'black pool'. The pool is caused by a shingle bank blocking the river flowing into Pwll Du bay and thus forming a pool.
Pwll Du headland guided smuggling boats to the bay at its foot and the 300 foot high headland provided a very convenient vantage point for keeping an eye out for customs officers.
It's then on to High Pennard and Bishopston Valley, with a possible stop at the 'Guzzle Hole' to glimpse and listen to an underground river.
