From the car park in Bishopston walk up the road, past the Valley Inn and Joiners Arms on Bishopston Road.

The house called Marston, no. 133, was Dylan Thomas’ father’s home when he moved from Cwmdonkin Drive following his retirement from teaching at Swansea Grammar School in 1937. Dylan and his wife Caitlin were frequent guests and it was here, in 1941, that Dylan wrote the poem The Ballad of the Long Legged Bait.

Turn left just past the Spar down Providence Lane. Follow this and cross over a road in a housing estate to the Plough and Harrow Pub. Bear left and then right around the pub to Murton Green. Turn right just past the Wesleyan Methodist Church and follow the road to a bend. Follow the footpath sign to Caswell Bay ignoring the turn to Clyne Common.

The track comes to a Y-junction where you bear left and keep left again a few metres on. Drop down the sunken track, and when it bends to the right, continue on the main track between the two hedges. On your left you can see a stone building which is the remains of a chapel at St Peter’s Well. Further along this sunken lane you can see a turf-roofed roundhouse. This is Lanwell where courses in traditional woodland management are run.
