バーチグローブの湖・トップ5

Great little park with a play area for kids, duck pond, cafe and plenty of benches to sit and enjoy being in nature

Nice gravel track down to the reservoir with lovely views. Track down can get muddy but good fun. Do-able on a gravel bike

Llewellyn Bridge is a Victorian stone-bridge that was reconstructed in 2013. Close-by is the iconic waterfall and Penllergare Upper Lake.

Penllergare’s iconic waterfall is a manmade feature constructed on the River Llan to provide an ornamental lake.

Easy walking along the Eastern and Southern edges of the reservoir, courtesy of the Gower Way (a 35-mile path linking Penller Castell to Rhossili if you fancy stretching your legs a little further). Fantastic views.

Set amongst the stunning mountain scenery of the Mawr, the Lower Lliw reservoir is surrounded by a variety of habitats including bracken, scrub, grass and woodland, supporting a variety of wildlife. If you're into birding, keep an eye out for Peregrine, Kestrel, Raven, Wheatear, Meadow Pipit, Skylark, Whinchat, Red Kite and Curlew - which have all been spotted here. There is an accessible path to the South of Lower Lliw Reservoir that will take you all the way to the Upper Reservoir. The circular path closer to the shore-line features steep steps in places.

Cyclists need to be aware of vehicles and walkers using the road between the Lower and Upper reservoir.

The lower reservoir is not suitable to go around. There are steep steps at one end.
