Millwood is set in Forestry Commission land close to the Penrice estate in south Gower. Follow the Penrice signpost on the A4118.

There's a free car park right next to the woodland walk.

Mill pond - a remnant of the Penrice Estate.

The mill leat - supplying water to the mill.

Follow the yellow arrow through the wood.

Pass a stile and hop over for luck!

At end of wood, turn left and walk back down the lane

to the car park.

A corn mill with 2 of the stone grinding wheels. A mill on

this site was built in 16th. C. but these remains probably

date from 1785 and was used until 1890.

Stew Ponds (c.1785?) - used to raise or hold fish (probably
carp) providing food for the mansion.

There's a stone stile opposite the car park for a
path to the house and castle.

Beware of falling Norman rock!

The largest castle in Gower is on your left.

The manor house is on your right built in 1775.




Go along the road past where you came out
of the wood. There's a small car park by the
12th. C. Church of St. Andrew.



Plenty of stone stiles here!
