  • Approx Distance 5 Miles
  • TerrainThis walk has an ascent at the start, then undulating or downhill and if we go to Crofty, a short climb back up to Hermon chapel.

This is a 5 mile approx. moderate walk, mainly on the higher ground above Penclawdd, so there

will be ups and downs but giving great views down to Whiteford and out over the Loughor Estuary

and Burry Port.

There will be some wet patches and some mud, but there is lots of walking on this route that

involves firmer ground underfoot and some pavement walking.

There is a climb at the start on tarmac and some further undulating ground making our way towards

Hermon chapel.

There are some narrow paths on this map, but not vertiginous.

If the weather is kind we will do a loop down to Salthouse point in Crofty. As this area is quite

exposed, if the weather is not very good, we will detour over to St Gwynno's church towards the

start of the walk, instead.

We then loop back to Hermon and then on a different path, leading down past some playing fields

and back down to the centre of Penclawdd.
