John France led Swansea Ramblers on a walk from Pyle Corner. We descended to the ruined Chapel where John told us there are no proper historicl records to confirm its use. We descended to the valley floor and made our way to Pwlldu Beach.
After a lunch stop on the pebble beach, we followed the coast path east to Brandy Cove. We had to be careful as sections of this path are on bare rock and can be tricky to cross. At Brandy Cove, John told us about the Silver and Lead mining as well as the possibility of smuggling. We then heard about the gruesome murder in 1919 of Maimie Stuart and how her bigamous husband got away with it!
After the walk, we went to The Beaufort Arms in Kittle for refreshments and a social get-together.
Swansea Ramblers offer a range of walks for most abilities.
