Arthur’s Stone and walking

The long-distance Gower Way runs past the Arthur’s Stone car park; a bridleway crosses there, and other footpaths are also nearby. Check the route and facilities on site before setting off.

A specific, measured walking section runs from Reynoldston to Nicholaston: it is 3.3 miles long, takes about 1 hour 30 minutes and is of moderate difficulty. The time estimate helps you fit it into your day; the difficulty level offers a second guide to the route. As trail conditions can change, check them before your walk.

The route information by the car park describes the location of different types of routes; the section to Nicholaston, by contrast, gives a specific guide to the time required and difficulty level. This helps you distinguish between finding routes on site and planning a measured walking section.

St George’s Church

St George’s Church is in the centre of Reynoldston and has stained-glass windows by Lavers and Westlake dating from 1905. The attribution and date give the church a specific art-historical connection. The walking route from Penrice to Reynoldston leads to the church. This links the dated detail with a clearly named destination on the route.

Nature in the surrounding area

On the way to Arthur’s Stone, walkers can spot flowering plants, including sundew, in the surrounding area from spring until midsummer. If you would like to observe plants, this seasonal window is relevant when choosing when to travel.

For nature enthusiasts, these points of interest complement one another: plant watching is seasonal, while the damselfly’s presence at Cefn Bryn is tied to a specific location.

For your travel planning, you can distinguish between the village centre and the surrounding area: the church is central, Arthur’s Stone is in Reynoldston, and the nature information relates to the surrounding area.
