I have not seen anyone swimming or in the water other than dogs when I visited the area

I wouldn't take a pushchair there the incline is too bumpy

Hi Trish. There is a large, heated marquee on the terrace which dogs are welcome in. We also have free dog treats and water for our canine Coffee Shop customers.

Hi. It is approximately 1.5 miles if you walk along the Carriage Drive, which is mainly flat/gently sloping. Thank you.

Hi, We welcome dogs at Penllergare Valley Woods and they are also welcome on our Coffee Shop terrace where we have free dog treats and water bowls for our customers. We ask that dogs are kept on leads in the car park and Coffee Shop areas, and that they are kept under close control elsewhere (i.e. good recall, not allowed out of sight, not allowed to inconvenience other visitors). We also ask that dogs are not allowed in the water both for their own safety and to preserve our wildlife along the river banks. There are poo bins at all our main entrances, so we ask visitors to please bag and bin any poo. Thank you. We hope you enjoy your visit.

It certainly is a brilliant place, full of history and charm. However James, where you have worked is called Penllergare Woods, situated in Penllergaer!
