Path linking Upper Lliw Reservoir with the road over Mynyddd y Gwair. Forestry track which is firm in places but rutted and muddy in others.

Easy walking along the Eastern and Southern edges of the reservoir, courtesy of the Gower Way (a 35-mile path linking Penller Castell to Rhossili if you fancy stretching your legs a little further).

Fantastic views.
