Walk Description
This walk rewards you with splendid panoramas over land and sea.
It takes you to an important hill fort and depending on the seasons gives good views of others in the distance.
There is one long gentle climb to the top on a broad path followed by a ridge walk and a gentle descent the other end.
Tankeylake Moor is the Open Access Land immediately before the road descends to Llangennith.
Please park with care on the grass verge so as not to cause an obstruction.
Go across the road to the sign posted access point near the descent and follow a broad grass track to left of the dirt track.
Watch carefully for the right hand broad track that heads towards the centre of Llanmadoc Down and use this rather than the left path.
The right hand path passes near some telegraph posts and starts a long gentle climb up to the Bulwark.
Look back occasionally for a view of Worms Head.
There are also good inland views towards Rhossili Down, Ryers Down, Hardings Down and Cefn Bryn.
Half way up, follow the right fork in the path. The path goes through the ditches and ramparts of the Bulwark Hill Fort.
The path then curves left to meet another path through the centre of the fort.
Turn left on this path to follow the ridge path to a cairn and the Trig Point.
There are splendid views across the Loughor Estuary to Pembrey and the Millennium Coast Path.
Worms Head and Burry Holms also come into view. Follow the broad path as it curves left and descends the Down.
The start point can be seen in the distance with the broad green track visible as it threads its way to journey's end.
Ramblers Cymru and Swansea Ramblers provide these routes but accept no responsibility for those walking them.
