Gravel Routes in Mumbles, Wales

Ultimate Gower Gravel / XC Loop

Gravel route on , Mumbles, Swansea, Wales

"Start point shown in Bracelet Bay Car park. Alternatively avoid the pay and display and park near houses in Limeslade or Thistleboon. Drop down to Pwlldu Bay for one of the prettiest secluded beaches on Gower. Small section of hike a bike possibly needed to get back up the other side, well worth the effort. Another small section of hike a bike possibly needed over Penard Burrows, again well worth the effort to visit Three Cliffs. Can be avoided by cutting across the bridleway on the golf course. Route avoids cycling on A4118 at all costs. Fast road not pleasant / safe for cycling. Excellent pub in Reynoldston if you need a lunch stop. Proposed route takes the low track around Rhossili Down. Alternatively you can go up and over (if you have a good climbing gear). Short road sections needed to link sections of bridleway along the north Gower return section. These tend to be less busy than the A4118. From Dunvant its an easy finish along the Clyne Valley cycle track (Explore locally built single track here if you have the energy left) and sea front path.
