Discovered in 1869 by workmen digging for road stone, this chambered Neolithic (New Stone Age) tomb is one of the best preserved in this part of Wales. The two protrusions around the entrance display the typical style of the so-called ‘Cotswold-Severn’ long barrows of the region. Extensive excavations of Parc le Breos, which remained in use for between 300 and 800 years, revealed the bones of at least 40 separate individuals. Roughly 70ft/21m in length, the tomb consists of a narrow passageway leading to four small chambers lined with upright stones. While the tomb was presumably once covered by large capstone slabs, no trace of these stones has ever been found. https://cadw.gov.wales/visit/places-to-visit/parc-le-breos-burial-chamber

Swansea bay is a great long stretch of beach and in one direction you have the city and the other direction you have Mumbles. Theres lots of cafes and places to visit and you can either walk on the footpath or along the beach. There are always lots of shells and things washed up so great for beach combing or exploring with kids

St. Cenydd’s Church is a beautiful church set in the heart of Llangennith. It was built around the 12th century on the site of a 6th-century llan, or churchyard. If a Welsh village has a 'Llan' in the name, it contains a church. The church has a long chancel, but it is the large, impressive square saddleback roofed tower with lancet windows that is a striking sight. The church was originally built on the site of a priory originally established by St. Ceyndd, who was born in the local area.
