  • How to Get to Pilton House Gower Using Various Types of Transport
    how to get to pilton house gower using various types of transport how to get to pilton house gower – by car the main motorway through most of south wales, is the m4. when travelling to pilton house gower from the eastern end of wales, one should leave the m4 motorway at junction 42 (j42) and join the a483 signposted to swansea. remain on that road (dual-carriageway) until you cross the river tawe, at which point you will now be on the a4067, on which road you will need to remain until you reach the village of mumbles. (‘landmarks’ along the way are; sainsbury’s, lc2 leisure centre, tesco’s, civic centre (formerly county hall), swansea university, sea views (on your left), a mini-roundabout and the west cross inn). when you reach the next mini-roundabout, you will see the white rose ‘pub’ located diagonally opposite. turn right here to enter newton road (the b4593) which has shops on both sides. at first, the road gradually rises, and then becomes a little steeper (the local police station is to your right) until the road reaches what is known locally as the ‘top shops’, but keep driving straight on until you reach some traffic lights. at the traffic lights (a school is to your right) please turn left, and then follow the road as it first of all slightly bends to the right before going up a steep hill and then round a long (steep) right hand bend. The road now flattens out, and is fairly straight for a few hundred metres, but then the road bears sharply to the left and goes up a short hill, at the top of which are crossroads, where you will need to turn right.
