8.2 mile walk from road east of Llangennith. Up minor road to Upper Hardingsdown farm then easy track up to summit of Harding's Down. Then we followed well signposted footpath west then south along slopes of Rhossili Down ascending easily up to summit. Then we followed the scenic ridge north but at Bessie's Meadow took a good footpath into Llangennith. From here we ascended Llanmadoc Hill on track and up to summit following ridge to cairned sub-summit east descending back to car. Afterwards drove to and bagged Ryer's Down and Cefn Bryn. Sunny/breezy conditions with good views across the Gower but a bit too hazy to see much further.DanTrig04/09/2021

Decided to go up here for a walk in rain and cloud rather than just go straight to the pub. After the top, I found the first path off the E ridge to get some shelter and down to Deivid Farm. Start: Llangenidd.pwheeler01/05/2016

Last walk of 2014, on a cold and frosty day. The summit ridge has half a dozen wrecked Bronze Age cairns, including one to the west of the trig (the modern stone pile is on its western edge). From here we walked down to Llanrhidian.thesweetcheat29/12/2014

My 2nd tump. Climbed from the Scripture Union camp in Llanmadoc, lovely hill with smell of bracken, and one which I looked up at lovingly as a teenager when playing footie at the youth camp. A gem of a hill on the superb Gower peninsula!!pdantic24/08/1975
