Three Cliffs Bay — Attraction in Wales

It’s a real looker, which means that visitors will overcome the long walks in, over energy sapping sand, across stepping stones, up and down steep hills, to experience this minor miracle of nature.

Curling sinuously though the centre of the bay, and holding the eye, is the steam that flows out of Ilston Cwm. It navigates around the great grey storm beach, bumps up against the whale back of the dune, spilling and expanding down the wet tidal sand, until it is forced around the ‘three cliffs’ and out to sea.

The ‘three cliffs’ define the main bay from Pobbles, spurring out into the bay, whilst on the other side, Great Tor splits the bay away from the endless curve of Oxwich, Tor Bay and Nicolaston Burrows.

A famous links golf course has stopped intrusive development to the east, unfortunately Stonesfield has seen some of the inter war wood shacks being converted into more intrusive glass and concrete suburban residencies, absolutely out of keeping with the...

In short, I'll be back, hope to...

If you are visiting the Gower the a visit to three cliffs should be on your agenda. It is a spectacular beach with beautiful sand.

It has fine views over towards Oxwich on the way down and is not really suitable for wheelchair access or for attempting if you are a little infirm. A you turn the corner of the path you are rewarded with fine views over the Three Cliffs and the whole bay. As you walk down you can see Pennard castle on the cliffs across the bay. At the bottom there are stepping stones to cross the large stream (Pennard Pill) that enters the sea at the Bay. There is a pleasant little walk alongside the stream that takes you up...
