Hi,
During an upcoming brief stay in Swansea in early May, my wife and I would
like to go to the location of the old Bryngwyn Farm that my great-great
grandfather, Evan Davies, lived on as a renter in the 1840s and 1850s.
Thanks to the wonderful help of some individuals on this site a few years
ago and Google Earth I have been able to locate the farm's location. It
was next to persent-day Gorseinon Garden Village and appears to still be
open land.
We will be staying at the Dragon Hotel in central Swansea and I would
appreciate any suggestions as to how we could get to the Village which
appears to be about seven miles from the hotel. Would a taxi be practical?
Is there a local bus route in that area? I'm hesitate to rent a car as we
Americans are used to driving on the "wrong" side of the road.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
