Cefn Bryn (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Cefn Bryn is a 5 mile long Old Red Sandstone ridge in the heart of the Gower Peninsula in Wales. Local people colloquially refer to it as the "backbone of Gower." The highest point on the ridge (188m/617 ft) is the second highest point in Gower, offering panoramic views of the surrounding Gower countryside. The swathes of grassland around the ridge are known as Cefn Bryn Common. Along the ridge of the hill, banked by grassy common on both sides is the road from Cilibion to Reynoldston. The road was previously known as the Old Coal Road and Red Road. Wandering sheep, wild ponies and cows can be seen along the road. Large swells and dips can be encountered along the route, formed by swallets and sinkholes in the limestone. The highest point of the road intersects with the ridge summit.
