| About Llangennith |
| The village of Llangennith or "Llangenydd" (meaning Church of St Cenydd) nestles between the slopes of three hills; Llanmadoc Hill, Rhossili Down and Hardings Down. |
The latter is the smallest of the red sandstone hills and has a number of iron age earthworks on its slopes. Rhossili Down is the highest point on the Gower Peninsula and boasts a number of prehistoric remains. Climb Llanmadoc Hill and explore The Bulwark - a large Iron Age fort. On a good day you can see Lundy Island off the Devon coast, Worm's Head and Caldy Island off Tenby.
The church in Llangennith, St Cenydd, is the largest in Gower and is believed to have evolved from St Cenydd's Priory, founded in the 6th century. It is also where we were married and have had each of our children Christened.
A number 16 bus runs from Swansea to Llangennith. Note that there is a surf shop and a pub in village, but the nearest basic groceries can be found in 'Hill End Holiday Village'. You may also wish to visit the village shop in Llanmadoc just 3 miles away. Whilst small it sells local produce, fresh bread/cakes and laverbread. Is also doubles up as a Post Office. More extensive provisions can be found at the garage in Llanrhidian, CK's supermarket in Penclawdd or in Port Eynon. Otherwise, Swansea itself is some 45 minutes drive away. |
