Penclawdd,
Blue Anchor, Crofty & Llanmorlais
|
|
Penclawdd was once a thriving seaport exporting goods from the local
copper works, the coal mines and of course its famous seafood, from
the Loughor estuary. Rows of little terraced houses, with fantastic
views, line the roads in the centre of the village and although the
copper works and mines closed a long time ago, "Penclawdd Cockles"
are still renowned today, although most of the industry is now located
in the nearby villages of Crofty and Llanmorlais.
The area known as Blue Anchor, you would expect to be quite near the
sea, but it is in fact located above Penclawdd and named after a long
established pub (now demolished), that stood on a bend on the old Penclawdd
to Three Crosses road.
Penclawdd is located conveniently for the attractions of town life,
Swansea being around 15 minutes away, but also rural enough that a variety
of Gower's beaches are only 15 mins drive in the opposite direction
and of course, being along side an estuary, attracts lots of marine
and bird life too.
