Ilston

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ilston is the name of a Hamlet and a local government community in Swansea, south Wales. Ilston has its own community council. The population of the community in 2001 was 538.

This Hamlet in the heart of the Gower peninsula is home to a brook, church and a National Trust abandoned limestone quarry. The community is surrounded by common grazing land, woods and fields.

There is a highly recommended 2-mile walk from the Church through five different kinds of woods and over four small bridges following the brook past the first recorded Baptist Church in Wales (1649) ending at a Parkmill based public house.
