Gower Peninsula: Three Cliffs Bay

Three Cliffs Bay, as viewed from Pennard cliffs, with Cefn Bryn looming on the horizon. It is one of the harder beaches to reach on the Gower Peninsula, for anyone with mobility problems. Whichever route you take to the beach, you will either have a steep descent, or will have to hop over stepping stones across a stream. Fortunately, for those unable to access the beach, there is a bench near this spot, providing fine views. Be aware, though, that it is very hard to find the bench unoccupied on a sunny day.

The cliffs are popular with climbers.

The people put this mammoth rock into perspective, to be sure! These are wonderful. I love the patterns of sunlight on the stone.

Beautiful scenery, I wouldn't want to go climbing, far too scared of heights, but I'd love to visit the area someday!

Not the ideal spot for an apprentice curmudgeon! It looks beautiful.

Hi Siani, thanks for visiting my blog. I'm glad you like the cover design. When I'm writing I don't start at the beginning and work through. I write the exciting parts first and then fill in the gaps... try it? Keep in touch and let me know how you get on. I'm sure the cliffs are a source of inspiration!!
