The Pennard clifftop path runs high above Three Cliffs Bay, giving one of the best views on the Gower down onto the bay, its river and the ruined castle on the dunes. It’s National Trust land, easily walked from Southgate, level along the top with steeper drops to the beaches below. Handy for Pennard village and Pobbles beach.
