Local Dog Walks

Oxwich Penrice
This 12.55Km Walk Starts And Finishes From The Oxich Camping Ground As We Were Staying There At The Time. However, There Is A Public Car Park As You Enter The Village Which Is A Better Starting Point For Day Visitors. There Are Some Long, Gentle Climbs Which Make This Route Quite Demanding But Well Worth It For The Stunning Views Across The Peninsula And The Coast Line.

Swiss Valley Reservoir
A Beautiful Marked Walk Through Trees Around This Quiet Reservoir. Ideal For Gentle Strolls For The Quieter Dog Or Places To Run And Splash For The More Active Ones. You Can Park For Free In The Designated Car Parks At The Top And Bottom Of The Lower Reservoir. The Toilets Are Boarded Up Unfortunately. It Is Probably Easiest To Park In The Car Park On The A476, Although That Leaves A Walk Down The Hill To The Reservoir.
