Fairies are believed to be around Pennard's atmospheric ruins. According to legend it is now home to Gwrach-y-Rhiannon.

Pennard Castle is a ruined castle, near the modern village of Pennard on the Gower Peninsula, in south Wales. The castle was built in the early 12th century as a timber ringwork following the Norman invasion of Wales.

For your first short walk, I recommend a stroll to Pennard Castle. From the bungalow, walk 50 metres downhill, turn left onto Norton Drive, and then walk for 10 minutes straight along the edge of the golf course until you reach the castle. From the castle, there are breath-taking views of the valley below and Three Cliffs Bay. Follow the path further and you will find an easy path leading down to the beach. Public footpaths across the golf course are marked with stones painted white. Dogs are allowed on Three Cliffs Beach at all times of the year. Except at high tide, to get onto the beach, walking from the Castle, you can either wade through Pennard Pill if the tide is out, or cross the stream using the stepping stones provided. When returning from the beach, if the tide is coming in, don’t leave it too late to cross the stepping stones or you will have a long walk home via Parkmill! Three Cliffs Bay can also be accessed from Parkmill and there are footpaths alongside Pennard Pill on both sides of the stream leading to the beach. You can also get to Pobbles beach by following the footpath from the castle around the headland where the three cliffs are located. In summer, a good time to swim at Three Cliffs Bay is when the tide is coming in over the warm sand, when I have known the water temperature to reach 25C. There is a life guard on duty on the beach in summer.
