타운힐 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

물 주변에 넓은 포장 도로가 많았고, 일요일 오후에는 너무 붐비지 않았지만 가끔 사람들로 붐빌 것이라고 상상합니다.

Trail still here, overgrown and needs some work

A lovely little cafe for a quick pit stop en route

A nice pub along the trail. Great place to meet and finish a bike ride you get get coffee from the little van if it’s open or obvs a post ride pint 🍺

Clyne Valley Country Park is a 691-acre (280-hectare) area set around the Clyne River that runs into the sea at the Mumbles seafront between Lower Sketty and Blackpill. It is a marvellous green area that covers both sides of the valley in thick woodlands of oak, birch, and beech trees. There are signs of its intensive industrial history dotted within the park, but mainly it is now noted for its extensive network of walking, running, and cycling trails.

Good for novice cyclists

Bracelet Bay is a small bay on the south of the Gower Peninsula. It is the first bay one comes to after leaving Swansea Bay and rounding Mumbles Head. Surrounded by limestone cliffs, the bay is pebbly, with some sand. To the west, the bay is separated from Limeslade Bay by Tutt Hill, the location of a coastguard look-out station. A notable feature of the bay is the "Big Apple" kiosk, a concrete structure that was erected by the roadside during the 1930s as an advertising feature and has been a sales outlet ever since. Several similar kiosks were erected along the South Wales coast, but the one in Bracelet Bay is the only example surviving. In 2010 it was largely rebuilt after being damaged by a vehicle the previous year, and in 2019 it was designated a Grade II listed building. The name 'Bracelet' is thought to be a corruption of 'Broad Slade'.

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