Informal country park with footpaths and its very own atomicon!
If you want to get away from it all, this is the place to go. It looks like a film set from a dystopian future which is marvellous for a pensive sort of dog walk.
One of our favourite dog walks in the area, with shady woodland and a lake and a background of chattering birds. It's a delight and very soothing.
A walk across the top of the Gower peninsula with spectacular views and guaranteed happy dogs.
A really delightful small-scale estate and house with a Robert Adam landscape and building design.
A quiet and leafy picnic area with several picnic tables and a pleasant area to take a break. There's a signed walk too.
In warm weather the cooling view of these large reservoirs is a charm. There are quite a few footpaths, but the obvious ones by the water are close to sheep or fenced off for people fishing.
A choice of walks here which reflect the area's industrial past. It's a popular place for walking the dogs and the occasional tourist info boards are interesting.
A popular country park with a number of marked trails and a cafe at the visitor centre. At weekends this can get hugely crowded and we'd suggest you choose somewhere else to stop with the dog.
A chance to walk in the footsteps of the reivers and farmers of yesterday, and get a feel for the tough life they experienced.
An informal parking area that's understandably popular with drivers needing to get out of their vehicles to enjoy the great outdoors.
