Pennard Castle - Castell Pennard

Pennard Castle - Castell Pennard is a twelfth century castle site overlooks Three Cliffs Bay. The later stone built south tower of the castle remains at a good height and there is a curtain wall on the north. The site is accessed via footpath and is about half a mile south of Parkmill on the A4118. From Oystermouth the B4593 can be taken west to Caswell and then on to Pennard. A footpath across the golf course goes to the castle. The castle can also be reached via a footpath from Three Cliffs Bay.

Our Visit

We decided to take our life in our hands and walk across the golf course to get to the Castle. Avoiding stray golf balls we were absolutely overwhelmed with the beauty of this site. Definitely worth the risk. We had timed our trip to the Gower perfectly; a warm sunny July day. Stunning views from the Castle down to the sparkling blue waters of the Bay far below. This was the place to get the picnic hamper out and we did! Choose the day right and the experience of this site is wonderful. Highly recommended.
