One of Swansea's hidden gems, a true escape into nature

Two, man-made 19th century reservoirs, once supplying the growing City of Swansea with water, have today become a beautiful retreat into the natural landscape. An abundance of wildlife in a woodland, moorland and open mountain range setting. Parking is Pay and Display.
