Neffoed Shepherd’s Hut is on the edge of the village of Reynoldstone in the middle of the Gower Peninsula. With a car, you can easily visit anywhere within this area of outstanding natural beauty. Cefyn Bryn, a sandstone ridge with the highest peak on the peninsula, offers common ground criss-crossed with pathways about 200 metres from the hut. You don’t have to walk far (although it is uphill) to reach its highest point and the site of King Arthur’s Stone from where there are great views. Keen walkers can follow the ridge towards the sea at Penmaen and Oxwich Bay. If you don’t fancy the hike, the sands of Oxwich are only three miles away, a drive of about five minutes. It’s good for paddling, swimming and surfing and you can hire boards and organise lessons at PJ’s Surf Shop. Three Cliffs Bay is just under four miles away and Rhossili Bay is only six miles from site. Both have been ratd as Britain’s best beach at one point or another. At low tide at Rhossili, you can glimpse a shipwreck and even walk across a rock causeway to a little offshore island. Swansea is only 13 miles away, a drive of half an hour.
