The
village of Reynoldston
|
|
Reynoldston is situated on the Western slopes
of Cefn Bryn, in the heart of Gower. It is thought to have derived
its name from one of the early Lords of Gower, Reginald de Breos.
Reynoldston is the intersection of North and South Gower and has
the advantage of sharing the views of both landscapes. From the
top of Cefn Bryn, the second highest point on Gower and whose prominent
skyline dominates most of the views, you can wonder at the breathtaking
scenery. |
On a clear day, you can not only see the coastline
of the peninsula, but over the Bristol Channel to Lundy Island,
Devon and Exmoor, North towards the Brecon Beacons and West to Carmarthenshire.
Arthur's Stone pictured above is a Neolithic tomb. There are many
legends and tales associated with it. One in particular speaks of
a local miller, who cut a piece off the stone to use as a millstone,
but once it was apart, was too heavy to move. The separated piece
has laid in its fallen state since.
Another legend mentions that the stone was a pebble in King Arthur's
boot. once he had removed it from his boot, he threw it across the
water and it came to land on Cefn Bryn. Watch out if you are around
on Old Year's Night (New Year's Eve). The stone is supposed to get
up and go down to the sea for a drink! |
 |
The village also has a strong connection with the Lucas family
who have been part of Gower for 500 years. They built Stouthall
and had strong connections with the Salt
House at Port Eynon and the Old Rectory in Rhossili.
Stouthall can be seen as the grand country house at the Southern
end of Reynoldston towards Knelston.

| Cefn Bryn is a common. which
means that any farmers that have Commoner's Rights on the Bryn
can graze their animals there. Horses, cows and sheep wander
freely over the common ... and the road. Please take care when
driving, too many four-legged lives are lost each year and it
is not always through the driver's negligence. A dark animal,
stepping out suddenly in front of a car on a dark night, just
simply cannot be seen, so please, SLOW DOWN. |
