Here are just a few of the things you can do in the locality – for even more ideas, Visit Swansea Bay.
Mountain Biking
Cycling
Cycling is a great way of seeing the countryside and getting some exercise at the same time. You can cycle along the promenade, and if you keep going you can ride all the way to Mumbles on the Gower!
The Afan Forest Park’s low level cycle route ‘Y Rheilffordd’ (meaning ‘Railway’ in English), which runs along the base of the Valley, is very popular. This is a great trail for the family with picnic and refreshment stops along the trail, which is 36km in total. Find out more at the Afan Forest Park link above.
