Places to visit

Burry Holms (Bryngaer Burry Holms) is a small tidal island at the north west end of the Gower Peninsular at the northern end of Rhossili Bay. There is archaeological evidence that it was inhabited by Mesolithic hunters at a time when it was some distance from the sea. Subsequently people of the Iron Age built a hill fort and ditch here and in later Medieval times a monastery was located on the site.

Loughor Castle (Castell Casllwchwr) is a Norman castle that was built on the site of an old Roman fortification called Leucarum. Having been burnt down by the Welsh in the twelfth century, the remains of the structure that can now be seen is from the early and late thirteenth century, including the rectangular stone tower. The site is west of Swansea by the A484. If coming from Weobly Castle take the B4295 coast road towards Gowerton and then the road northwest to Loughor.

Trecastle Mountain (Y Pigwyn) has two circles made up of small stones. In the centre of the larger circle, which still has over twenty stones standing, is a small mound. To the southwest of the larger circle the smaller one is made up of five surviving larger stones. The site is close to the remains of two Roman forts and is located off the A40 between Brecon and Llandovery and via a lane just past Trecastle towards Cwmwysg and close to the Roman Road.

Nant Tarw consists of two circles, a larger and smaller one, which are both are made up of about eighteen remaining small stones. There are a number of larger fallen stones near the circles, plus a separate group of stones near the largest circle. The site is located off the A40 at Trecastle between Brecon and Llandovery. The road leads to the Usk Reservoir and forestry plantation.
