The best of west Wales and of course Swansea 09:43 - Aug 19 with 2266 viewsKeithHaynes

After the revelation by Flynn Downes of the odd advice he got before coming to Swansea, where are your favourite places in the area ?

Mine is Mumbles Pier and the surrounding vicinity, of course there are many others.

Due to the fact the headline today has already reached thousands of views we are keeping this on the football page, we get a lot of visitors here especially away supporters. There seems to be some education required.


It reminds me of older days and better times

Keith, that's a newer picture of Mumbles pier! That's not what it looked like when I was a kid growing up in Mumbles! But yes, spent many a happy time down there, even fishing off the end of the pier and I don't really like fishing!

Oystermouth castle and it's field. I spent many, MANY hours up there with my mates.

Now the nostalgia. It's all houses now but up behind Thistleboon it used to be farmland, some of the fields are still there. I used to visit my Aunty and play with my cousins in those fields, happier times in a childhood spoilt by shitty parents!

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

Three Cliffs wonderful sight whether the tide is in or out. For me it beats the iconic Rhossili view. Cleddau Bridge is also a favourite.

Best view of Swansea is from Pant y Celyn road.

As for places to visit, if we’re counting Gower as Swansea, nowhere outside of Pembrokeshire or Devon/Cornwall comes close.

In my previous role which involved a lot of travelling I had Three Cliffs Bay as my screensaver, the amount of times I got asked where that beautiful place was incredible.

Top of Dunvant Park looking right over to Clyne.
Also the view north from the Waunarlydd end of Hendrefoilen Lane .
And from the M4 towards Fforesfach often made my eyes water as Cadle Mill appeared .

Good shout, it is a beautiful view from there, but I would think the best view to soak up the whole of Swansea, has got to be from Kilvey Hiill.

Like when you are on Pantycelyn, you can only see forward towards the beach, city, and mumbles, yet KIlvey you can look behind as well. 360 degrees, for me that gives the best view of Swansea.

Fair point. You’ve certainly got a much wider range from Kilvey.

Top of Mumbles hill is good too, but not as good as Kilvey or Pant y Celyn
