This section will get your heart and legs going. A short but sharp section of trail that takes you up through the woods with a series of steps thrown in.

Tucked out of the way on a wooded coastal hillside beautiful St Illtyd's church has apparently been used for Christian worship since the 6th century. The present building is largely medieval and the tower the bell date from around the 14th century.

Oxwich National Nature Reserve is right off beautiful Oxwich Bay (funny enough!). It's a great place with a mix of sand dunes, lakes, woodlands, cliffs and some marshes. Oxwich Bay is one of Gower’s most visited beaches and a beautiful place to visit.

(OSBM S2389–TP5272) - What are trigs? Trig points are fixed surveying stations that were built by Ordnance Survey to map the contours of the land. "They are generally found on the highest bit of ground in the area, so that there is a direct line of sight from one pillar to the next. By placing a theodolite on the top of the pillar, accurate angles between pairs of nearby trig-points could be measured in a process known as Triangulation."

A staggeringly steep flight of slippery steps. It hugs the curve of the bay and takes you out to a point from which you can look back on the beach as if you were on a boat out in the open water. The altitude increases dramatically and very quickly, taking you up into the heavens where the light suddenly saturates everything. It’s the shades of green that always gets me, from deep amazon tones to glowing emeralds and electric limes.

Almost hidden from view, beneath the looming shadows of the woods neighbouring Oxwich Bay, nestles the church of St. Illtyd. Reputedly, a Christian building has been present on this site since the 6th century, but the current building is a largely 13th century construction with a 14th century tower.
