  • 32. South Gower Coast: Port Eynon Point Port Eynon, Swansea
    32. South Gower Coast: Port Eynon Point Port Eynon, Swansea Grid References O.S. Explorer map 164 Gower. Main entrance: SS467848, Site centre: SS465845 Status Part of the South Gower Coast SSSI, which in turn is part of the European Natura 2000 site, the Limestone Sea Cliffs of South West Wales SAC. Tenure Acquired under leasehold for 60 years in February 1965. The Trust purchased the agricultural rights in 1996, with the help of grant aid from CCW. Size 13.4 ha (33 acres). Location and Port Eynon village lies at the end of the A4118. Port Eynon Access Notes Point can be accessed from the footpath on the west side of Port Eynon beach. Not accessible to wheelchairs. Take care on cliff-top footpaths. Public Transport Bus numbers 114, 115, 117, 118 and 119 from Swansea Quadrant Bus Station to Port Eynon. Description: Sea cliff, foreshore, limestone grassland, heathland, secondary Ash woodland, and quarries. A large part of the reserve on the inland side has been used for quarrying and now provides a varied set of habitats for plants and animals, including Fox and Rabbit, and birds such as Stonechat and Rock Pipit. Although part of the cliff top was ploughed during the last war, there is no indication of it in the Gorse heath vegetation that now dominates it. There is a very clear grass strip along the cliff top which is maintained by Rabbit grazing and visitor pressure, where a range of flowers can be found including Sea Campion (6-8), Spring Squill (4-5), Thrift (3-9) and Wild Clary (5-7).

  • 6. Oystermouth Castle
    Great Archaeological Sites in Swansea 6. OYSTERMOUTH CASTLE When the Normans conquered Gower, the manor of Oystermouth ended up in the hands of William de Londres who had already been granted the manor of Ogmore in Glamorgan. His original castle would have been of timber, and it was his son, Maurice de Londres who was probably responsible for rebuilding it in stone around 1140 (SS 6131 8836). By the beginning of the 12th century it belonged to the de Braose lords of Gower who used it as one of their residences when they were in Wales – we know that William de Braose III entertained King Edward I there in 1284. It was attacked on a number of occasions by the Welsh during campaigns and uprisings trying the wrest control of Gower from the Normans. The earliest part of the castle to survive is the keep, dating to the 12th century and is probably Maurice’s work. Early in the following century it was doubled in size and each half was provided with a fireplace backing on to each other. The new part provided accommodation for the lords. Another accommodation block was added to one corner in the middle of the century, along with a building for the more mundane purposes of cooking and storage along one of the walls of the inner ward. These walls were themselves rebuilt at the end of the 13th century as part of an extensive makeover that also saw the construction of a new gatehouse, as well other building including as a new porch for the hall.

  • 2. Urban Geology of Swansea and Port Talbot
    Waters et al . Urban geology of Swansea and Port Talbot 2. Urban geology of Swansea and Port Talbot Waters, C N, Price, S J, Davies, J, Tye, A M, Brown, S E & Schofield, D I The conurbation of Swansea–Neath–Port Talbot is one of the main centres of industrial development in South Wales. A long history of mineral extraction and processing, which stoked the initial growth of the towns, declined during the 20 th Century. Many of these former industries have left a legacy of groundwater, water- course and land contamination. A project funded by the Environment & Hazards Directorate (British Geological Survey) between 2000-2005 used available geological data to determine potential areas of contaminated land and understand the influence of the geology to pollutant pathways (Waters et al ., In press a). The study covered 100 km 2 of the Swansea- Neath-Port Talbot area (Fig. 2.1) and was aimed at providing data relevant to contaminated land issues, to augment the study by Arup (1997) on earth science information relevant to planning and development for the Swansea-Llanelli district, and look at new methodologies of presenting the data. Contaminated land is defined as areas where a Source-Pathway-Receptor linkage can be established (DoE, 1995). In order to determine Source areas it is necessary to appreciate the industrial development of the region by collecting information on current and former land use and the extent and nature of artificial deposits. The degree that contamination of Source areas is a problem can be established from analysis of soil geochemistry. The Pathway component represents the migration of contaminants through the air, surface water or groundwater.

  • Pwll Du, Ilston and Three Cliffs Walk, Gower
    Pwll Du, Ilston and Three Cliffs Walk, Gower Description: A long circular walk beginning at the village of Southgate and following coast line to Pwll Du then circling inland up Bishopston valley to the picturesque village of Ilston before returning to the coast via Three Cliffs valley. You will need OS map Gower 164 to complete this walk as the map below will not have adequate detail to find the footpaths between Kittle and Ilston easily. Distance covered: 8.5 miles Average time: 5 hours Terrain: varied expect some steep paths and lots of mud in winter. Directions: At Pennard church turn off the B4436, take the road for Pennard and Southgate follow the road all the way to the round about at Southgate. Park in the National Trust car park (SS 55310 87461) next to 3 Cliffs Coffee shop. From the car park face the coast and turn left following the cliff top path. As you walk in the direction of Hunts bay about 600yds from where you have parked your car you can find Minchin hole bone caves. Be careful if you decide to go down to the cave it is a real dangerous scramble but it is also probably the reason that the cave is in such pristine condition today. History of Minchin hole bone caves: The cave has been excavated on a number of occasions in the past; the first of which took place in the mid nineteenth century. The many artefacts now lie in Swansea Museum include the remains of a straight-tusked elephant, bison, soft-nosed rhinoceros, cave bear, reindeer, wolf and hyena.
