Unique throw
Explore neolithic Gower with spectacular views.
This walk gives you a chance to explore in land Gower, and will uncover the spiritual side of the peninsular. It has clearly been seen as a place within touching distance of heaven for millenia judging from all the ancient burial chambers and standing stones. Something not over looked by early Christian missionaries.
Where ever you find fresh drinking water bubbling up through the ground you find religious connotations and stories and this place follows that familiar pattern. But throw in a rather spectacular connection to King Arthur and you find something altogether more unique.
This walk is part of the award winning Glamorgan History Walks festival and is led by author and TV history expert Graham Loveluck-Edwards.
