Ropeworks Active Ltd
Tourist attraction
👍👍 It was a great experience fr my 13, 11 and 5yr old. The instructor Alice and Barry were very kind and patient with my kids in helping them again and again when they got stuck. It was a very safe and secure trail which they throughly enjoyed and did again and again. We were the last team on the site...

National Trust - Rhosili and South Gower Coast
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Absolutely stunning area to walk around in, with beautiful views of the Gower coastline. The path is easy to walk along, with a wide rocky gravel path and lots of grass spaces. It was dog friendly though note there are wild (albeit very tame and docile seeming) horses and sheep roaming. The Nation...

Sgwd y Pannwr
Tourist attraction
👍👍 One of four waterfalls along a 3-4 hr walk. We stopped here and cooked lunch and brew a coffee whilst surrounded in nature. Incredibly beautiful place to walk around. The walk is incredibly challenging but worth it for all the views. Wear proper footwear and be prepared for steps. @momentsofiutd...

Crib Goch
Hiking area
👍👍 Crib is a great route to do the views are amazing up there, but it can be misty and the cloud cover can come in quick. Before attempting it look at some pics because there are parts that are a tough scramble, theres a long tight ridge you have to cross and 2 or 3 climbs so id say you have to have so...

Elidir Trail
Hiking area
👍👍 Nice walk through a deep wooded ravine. Worth noting that the carpark was closed when we visited (July 2021) so parking was VERY limited. The path is rough with embedded bounders and tree roots. There are a series of waterfalls along the route which takes about 45 minutes each way.

Fan y Bîg image

Fan y Bîg
Hiking area
👍 Why would you walk up the north ridge of Fan y Big, when the superior Cribyn is next door? Because it’s an easier ascent, and doesn’t have the final steep exposure. It also offers exceptional views of Pen y Fan and Cribyn. I walked from the lovely village of Llanfrynach, via the delightful Three Ri...

Porth Dyniewaid (Angel Bay)
Hiking area
👍👍 Fantastic places to come and take the kids. See the seals on the beach and swimming in the sea. Parking is on the street and a few steps to get up to view them. If you like a hike there are a few routes to get to the top of the cliffs. Tricky in some places but some truly amazing views if you get to...

Green Bridge
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Amazing views! I found it a little bit tricky navigating to get to the Green Bridge, but once I did it was well worth it. There is a small car park and several wooden signs and information boards to direct you on what way to go, as it was a few minutes walk from the car park. The path to get there i...

Merthyr Mawr Nature Reserve
Nature preserve
👍👍 Awesome beach once you get through the sand dunes, it took us the best part of an hour to get through the dunes from the car park, but we had a real slow 4 Yr old with us, I reckhghon its probably 30 minutes at a decent pace. Beach is huge when tide is out. Car Park was £5 for the day and can pay on...
