Walk Description
Head north along the cycle path to the Dunvant car park.
Ascend the path behind the metal cycle path sculpture onto Highland Terrace.
Turn left and follow it for half a mile to a sharp left bend.
(Alternatively continue along the cycle path, turn right at the wooden bridge and ascend the path to the sharp right bend).
Go through the narrow metal gate and descend the grassland path which follows the bottom of the hillside.
After about half a mile, watch carefully for another path on the left which drops to a track leading to an old tower.
Pass the tower and ascend left to a junction.
Turn right to follow the broad valley floor. After a few hundred yards turn right to cross a small stream and continue uphill to join a farm track.
Cwmllwyd Nature Reserve can be visited before retracing steps to a narrow path heading directly uphill from the farm track.
At the top there is a panorama over Mumbles, Gower and Northern Swansea.
The path descends to the Hendrefoilan Housing Estate.
Go through the streets (see street map below) to the A4118, close to the roundabout by the Hendrefoilan University Site and the Toby Restaurant.
Cross the road and descend Olchfa Lane into Clyne Woods.
This lane goes past a few houses before entering the woods.
Turn right at the bottom of Olchfa Lane and go through Beech Woods to eventually emerge at Clyne Valley Cottages.
Go straight to the A4118 and turn left to return to the start.
