It has a very different feel to the busy local beaches, having a serene quietness, with no great horizons, cut off from the wind and weather.
What remains of the walls are beautifully tightly laid blocks of the local limestone. From the central tunnel, small chambers branch off to the left and right. These are where the bodies of the community elders were laid.
The valley (or cwm) is one of the two that feed into the river that leads down to Three Cliffs Bay. The other follows the road, then curls north up through to Ilston.
Both ultimately lead towards the watershed of Welshmoor.
A great and varied circular walk takes you north up the track, then west up a side valley and ultimately onto the crest of Cefn Bryn, drop down to Nicholaston and loop around the coast to return via Three Cliffs.
Refreshments at Nicholaston Farm campsite cafe in the season.
You can also illegally cycle the track, linking the south and north Gower roads. Very good for avoiding the persistently heavy tourist traffic
