Golyga ei ddaeareg fod ynddo amrywiaeth ysblennydd o olygfeydd o fewn ardal gymharol fechan, o olygfeydd carreg galch Pen Pyrrod, Three Cliffs Bay ac Oxwich Bay yng nglannau’r de i halwyndiroedd a thwyni tywod y gogledd. Mae trumiau tywodfaen yn nodweddu asgwrn cefn y penrhyn, gan gynnwys y man uchaf, Cefn Bryn: a cheir yno diroedd comin eang. Canlyniad y golygfeydd eithriadol a’r traethau tywodlyd, euraidd wrth droed y clogwyni yw bod yr ardal yn denu ymwelwyr yn eu miloedd. Gall y priffyrdd fod yn brysur, wrth i bobl heidio at y traethau mwyaf golygfaol. Mae pwysau twristiaeth wedi newid y cymeriad diwylliannol. Dyma’r AHNE gyntaf a ddynodwyd yn y Deyrnas Unedig ym 1956, ac y mae’r glannau wedi’u dynodi’n Arfordir Treftadaeth, hefyd. www.naturalresources.wales NLCA39 Gower - Page 1 of 11 Erys yr ardal yn un wledig iawn. Mae’r trumiau’n ffurfio cyfres o rostiroedd uchel, graddol, agored. Rheng y bryniau ceir tirwedd amaethyddol gymysg, yn amrywio o borfeydd bychain â gwrychoedd uchel i gaeau mwy, agored. Yn rhai mannau mae’r hen batrymau caeau lleiniog yn parhau, gyda thirwedd “Vile” Rhosili yn oroesiad eithriadol. Ar lannau mwy agored y gorllewin, ac ar dir uwch, mae traddodiad cloddiau pridd a charreg yn parhau, sy’n nodweddiadol o ardaloedd lle bo coed yn brin. Nodwedd hynod yw’r gyfres o ddyffrynnoedd bychain, serth, sy’n aml yn goediog, sydd â’u nentydd yn aberu ar hyd glannau’r de.

  • Have You Seen Our UFO?
    Have You Seen Our U.F.O? ( Unidentified Floating Object ) TheSouth Wales Porpoise Project has placed 5 submarine hydrophones (PODS) in the Bristol Channel to help us understand more about the movements and numbers of Harbour porpoise around our coasts. All the PODS are identified by floats labelled “Scientific Equipment - 01639 710239”. The PODS are passive detectors. They are weighted to the sea bed and record the ultrasound clicks of passing porpoise. The PODS are battery powered and will be serviced monthly during our twelve month study period. They do not affect or disturb sealife. The PODS are spread in a rough line from Kenfig round to Carmarthen Bay (see map). If you see one, please leave it where it is. Would you like to help us? We are always interested to hear about any porpoise you encounter whilst at sea. Your observations are of immense value to us. If we’ve placed a POD on a patch of water you regularly visit, you could also help us by letting us know if it wanders off (exact GPS co-ordinates of PODS on request). The South Wales Porpoise Project is a joint effort between the Gower Marine Mammals Project, LocalAuthorities, CCW and others. Tofind out more about us or tell us what you’ve seen, contact Rob Colley on 01639- 710239. Alternatively, visit our website:www.gmmp.org.uk or email [email protected].

  • Baking in Reynoldston 1930 – 1970 by Godfrey Jefford and Godfrey
    Baking in Reynoldston 1930 – 1970 by Godfrey Jefford and Godfrey Davies Between the 1930s and the 1970s, three bakeries operated in Reynoldston. The families involved were Jefford, Clement and Davies. The first to be established was the Jefford Bakery at Cefn Bryn House. Baking was undertaken in a purpose built two- storey building attached to the northern pine end of the house, adjacent to the road that runs to Henys Well. (The building has been replaced by an extension to the living accommodation). The owner of the bakery was William Stanley Jefford, grandfather of Godfrey Jefford, co-author of this account. He had learnt his baking skills when working with his father who had established a successful baking business in Swansea. I have been unable to establish the date at which the bakery started at Cefn Bryn House but it was a well - established business by the time I was born there in 1927. My memories stem from the early 1930s, hence the title of this article. Setting up a bake house in Reynoldston in the early 1900s was not without its difficulties as there was no electricity supply, mains water or drainage. This meant that the pair of baking ovens had to be heated with coke and water had to be hauled from the well that exists near the Post Office. Originally, a cart- horse was kept and employed to haul a cart- mounted water butt. From the mid 1930s a tank, mounted on a car towable trailer, was used. Hot water was obtained from a coal-fired domestic boiler, situated in what is now the drive to the house known as Fernbank.
