driving
A less well known destination in Swansea is the Lliw Uplands which contains some of the best mountain scenery in Wales:
City Centre - Llangyfelach - Felindre - Garnswllt - Ammanford
From the city centre, head towards the road junction at Dyfatty lights. Take the second left turning onto Llangyfelach road B4489 which will take you to the M4 Motorway Junction 46. Head straight accross the roundabouts on Junction 46. This will take you into the rural area of the Lliw Uplands. From here, much of the road consists of a narrow country lane. Follow this lane though the village of Felindre then on over Mynydd-y-Bettws with stunning views of the Lliw Lalley. The road takes you past Penlle'r Castell - the highest point in Swansea. It then descends into the farming village of Garnswllt and continues to Ammanford.
