Iconic bridge located at Swansea marina is a 300 foot pedestrian and cycle swing bridge that crosses the River Tawe over the barrage lock. Lovely to watch all the boats come and go.

Currently unable to access the top as they have begun work on the cable car and trails. Really looking forward to seeing the completed work.

The Marina is a great place to run. It is really flat and you can run past all the boats along the paths. The beach is close by and there are cafes and pubs that you can start or finish it. There's also public toilets there and there is a nice 5k loop or more

Amazing view across Swansea. It's so cool that this is so close to the city but feels like you are deep in nature in the forest. Nice to get a view across the city and Swansea beach 🫶

The top of Kilvey Hill is marked with a stone sit down area with commanding views down over Swansea and the coast. However, the true summit is back about 70 metres away on a blank piece of ground near the masts. Kilvey Hill at 193 metres, is a UK designated P100 hill with a prominence of 140 metres.
