How to find Arthur's Stone
Arthur's Stone lays close to the road from Cilibion to Reynoldston, that traverses the length of Cefn Bryn. Near to the village of Reynoldston, an unmarked, makeshift and somewhat craggy car park marks the well trodden footpath that leads to the Neolithic monument. Suitable footwear is recommended as the footpath is often muddy and the surrounding heath, despite its elevation, is often waterlogged and boggy.
Maen Ceti, Cefn Bryn
Arthur's Stone, sometimes known as King Arthur's Stone or Maen Ceti, is a Neolithic burial tomb dating back to 2500 B.C. and was one of the first sites to be protected under the Ancient Monuments Act of 1882.

This is a fun walk for the family to enjoy together and to discover how the dramatic Welsh coast can inspire local artists with their work.
Start and Finish:
Limeslade Bay car park to Caswell Bay car park.
Distance:
3 miles/5km.
Along the way...
Joining the path at Limeslade, you might catch a glimpse of seals basking on the rocks close to the water’s edge.
A little further along the path you’ll discover the Leaping Fish Sculpture, part of a coastal art trail by group Sculpture Art and Education by the Sea. Carved from local reclaimed oak, the sculpture depicts an ever-flowing circle of water with a leaping mackerel. Take a peek through the viewfinder at the sculpture’s centre to observe the stunning coastal landscape, before continuing your journey.

Nicholaston Woods
This is a steep but short walk ( a mile or so) offering coastal and countryside views with a quaint Church.
Take an approximate 10 mile drive from the property to Oxwich bay. Free parking is limited in the village but there’s a large pay car park on the beach. Walk towards the Oxwich Bay hotel, with the sea on your left. From the hotel car park
turn right along the lane towards St Illtyd’s church, an intriguing structure with a 14th century tower, almost hidden in the trees. The church’s ancient font is said to have been personally brought by the Celtic saint St Illtyd, to whom the church is dedicated.
Continue on the path between the church and the rocks above the beach and soon turn right up a long flight of steps.
At the top of the steps, bear right and right again to follow a gently sloping path down through the woods to join the road. Turn right on the road and return to the cross roads in Oxwich village. Turn right to return to the hotel car park and along to the beach pay car park. This
