Archaeology, lichen rich dunes and the award winning Three Cliffs Bay
Penmaen Burrows and Nicholaston Burrows are nestled between Three Cliffs Bay and Oxwich Bay. A walk through the burrows will take you through heathland, woodland, sand dunes and cliff tops.
Penmaen Burrows is rich in history, including the remains of a Neolithic burial chamber, a Norman ringwork and a medieval church. There is also the possibility of a village called Stedwarlango buried under the sandy plateau.
The dunes at Nicholaston Burrows are home to interesting flora such a bloody cranesbill, pyramidal orchids and a number of lichen species. It's also rich in invertebrates and, if you’re lucky, common lizards may also be seen.
Penmaen Burrows offers fantastic views over Three Cliffs Bay, as does Notthill. Notthill is a small secluded area of recovering heathland with a flourish of bluebells in the spring.

Prisiau
Admission free
Beth yw Cymorth Rhodd?
Most of our places run the Gift Aid on Entry scheme at their admission points. Under this scheme, if you're not a member you have the choice of two entry tickets:
- Gift Aid Admission or
- Standard admission
If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you the Gift Aid Admission prices. But it's entirely up to you which ticket you choose. If you want the Standard Admission instead, just let us know when you come to pay.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid* — an extra 25 per cent — potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below: Payment of the additional percentage donation is entirely voluntary, so if you prefer to pay the standard admission please advise our reception staff at the till point.
| Gift Aid | Standard | |
|---|---|---|
| Amount paid by visitor | £11.00 | £10.00 |
| Tax refund from Government* | £2.75 | £0.00 |
| Total received by the National Trust | £13.75 | £10.00 |
*Gift Aid donations must be supported by a valid Gift Aid declaration and a Gift Aid declaration can only cover donations made by an individual for him/herself or for him/herself and members of his/her family.
