Lime Kiln at Gower National Landscape

Highlight • Monument

The lime kiln is used to produce quicklime through the calcination of limestone (calcium carbonate). This reaction takes place at 900 °C but a temperature around 1000 °C is usually used to make the reaction precede quickly. 2 Quicklime was used to make plaster and mortar for building construction.

View of Tor Bay

Stunning view of Tor Bay. At low tide Tor Bay, Oxwich Bay and Three Cliffs Bay can be walked along and at high tide they are all separated into different bays

Pennard Pill Stepping Stones

Highlight • Structure

On high tide, these are underwater (you can still walk across but be careful) and low tide they resurface above water. Really fun walk across.

Three Cliffs Labyrinth

Highlight • Structure

The circles were built by a hippy Moroccon in 1976 and are called the Three Cliffs labyrinth. They are always added to and when they are moved or destroyed they get re-built...

View of Three Cliffs Bay

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here you have a great view looking down onto Three Cliffs Bay and Three Cliffs itself. This is one of my favourite views of the Gower. I love the climbing on Three Cliffs, so so easy and just a great environment down there on the beach. From here the view is just fantastic and about the best beach view you can get anywhere.

Shell Sculpture at Three Cliffs Bay

Highlight • Structure

Carved by Tina Cunningham.Based on a whelk shell to work with the landscape complimenting the location. The shell is carved from one piece of wood, including the ‘plinth’. There is a view finder in the back of the shell which can be fixed to a chosen view. Also, an aluminium mirror inside the shell acting as a ‘rock pool’ reflecting light and a spiral. The rock pool overflows into the spiral ‘logo’ on the front of the sculpture. At the base of the carved shell the ‘cast’ shells are fixed. The plinth will have arrows slowly changing into birds (gulls) pointing and flying towards the path that takes you to the beach with Three Cliffs Bay carved into it.

Three Cliffs Arch

Highlight • Beach

This is a natural arch, for there is a long, dripping tunnel through which one can walk quite easily at low tide.
