Walking the Gower Coast: Tor Bay & Oxwich Bay
7 min readJun 24, 2021
When I see a sunny forecast, I start looking at maps and planning my next walk.
This walk was done in two parts. The first from Tor Bay in a westerly direction (with both human and canine company) on a breezy, sunny day but the second part was done from Oxwich (alone) in an easterly and thus anti-clockwise direction (and looped back to my car). It wasn’t very sunny.
The climb up from western side of Three Cliffs Bay itself is pretty tiring as its very sandy but the view at the top is worth every bit of the struggle.
At the top is an Iron Age fort. The Iron Age was a very long time ago — about 2,500 years. It has a fantastic view of Three Cliffs Bay (the ramparts are covered in primroses).
