**Start Location to Trinity Well (1.5 mile):**

Begin Shepherds, there is parking available here and you can pay in the shop.
When leaving Shepherds, turn left, cross the road onto the pavement before crossing the road again to join the footpath leading to the river and bridge. Once you have crossed the bridge, turn left immediately to follow the gravel track running high in the trees parallel to the main road and in the direction of the Gower Inn.
Stay on this track until you pop out at the bottom of a steep lane up to Pennard, cross to the bridge straight ahead of you but before you do note the old boundary marker for Parkmill and Ilston, embedded in the wall.

Cross the road, take care here as traffic is fast and there is no pavement, in a few yards there is an old metal gate, go through this into the valley and woods As you enter the valley between the Gower Inn and the Police Station, follow the path to the remains of the first Baptist Church in Wales. This site features a monument unveiled by Lloyd George.
To the right of the railings, you will find the Trinity Well, where a stream emerges from the ground.
Continue along the path, crossing seven bridges. After the seventh bridge, the track forks. Take the left fork onto a frequently muddy path leading to Ilston, along the banks of the wider of two branches of the stream. (The right fork leads to less frequented areas, which can also be interesting to explore.)

**Ilston to St. Illtyd’s Church (0.4 miles):**

Follow the left path for 400 yards to reach St. Illtyd’s Church. Although the structure appears ancient, it is a 13th century building extensively restored in the last century. The churchyard features a yew tree believed to be 600 years old.

The medieval church stands on the site of an original 6th century monks cell.

**St. Illtyd’s Church to Lunnon (0.5 miles)**

From St. Illtyd’s Church, join the metalled road in the picturesque village of Ilston. Turn left and continue for half a mile to reach Lunnon.
In Lunnon, take the second road on the left, between farm buildings. At the apex of a bend, the track goes left between buildings, then bears left and right beside a farmhouse and brick outbuildings.
Continue on this lane for 300 yards until a left-hand bend, and cross the stile on the right. Keep to the right of a long narrow field to a stile in the lower right-hand corner, onto a lane which joins the main road.

**Return to Parkmill (6 miles)**

Follow the lane to the main road. Continue until you reach the Post Office in Parkmill.
