Tips

Llanmadoc Hill has fine views across towards Rhossili Down and nearby Harding's Down. With a trig point, a cairn, and an orientation table, it has a nice broad summit, which has few access paths to the the top. At 186 metres high, it is also a UK-designated P100 hill with 105 metres of prominence.

Llanmadoc Hill is a 186-metre-high hill at the northwestern corner of the Gower Peninsula west of Swansea in South Wales. The summit at the western end of the east-west aligned ridge is crowned by a trig point; at its eastern end are a series of complex earthworks known as The Bulwark. Numerous other prehistoric cairns adorn the hill’s broad summit ridge. The hill’s position above the village of Llanmadoc within 2 km of Gower’s northwest coast enables wide panoramas to be enjoyed over the western end of the peninsula and the surrounding Loughor estuary, Rhossili Bay and Carmarthen Bay.

Highest viewpoint of Llanmadoc Hill with a nice compass navigation structure telling you the distances to lots of locations that you can see from the viewpoint. Ther is also a Trigpoint close by. Unrivalled views of Llangenith Beach and Broughton Bay from up there.
