周辺のスポット/アトラクション・トップ20

You can enjoy lovely views of the town and Afon Valley from this high up viewpoint on Pontrhydyfen Viaduct. The viaduct itself was build in 1898 by the Port Talbot Railway.

Well maintained tow path and is quite tranquil

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

Pontrhydyfen is a small former coal mining community at the confluence of the River Afan and the Afon Pelenna. It is distinguished by two large 19th-century bridges that span the valley: a railway viaduct (the red bridge) and a former aqueduct, known as Y Bont Fawr ("The Big Bridge").

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.
