While unofficially the 'largest village in Europe', Skewen is
currently a black hole on the Geocaching map.
Skewen's main claim to fame is that it's the birthplace of
internationally successful singer Bonnie Tyler, but we'll save the
obvious puns for another cache. Comedian Eddie Izzard also lived in
the village for a short while in his boyhood.
Skewen Park is a large victorian park in the Coedffranc district
of Skewen. The park has football pitches (including a fenced all
weather pitch), bowling greens, crazy golf, tennis courts, play
ground, formal gardens and up until recently a 9 hole 'pitch and
putt' golf course. The park also boasts a purpose built BMX biking
course. Which despite lack of maintenance, is still in good shape.
There is also a Community Hall where various clubs are held.
Just along the path from GZ, fine views can be had to the south,
from Baglan to Kilvey.
From the main entrance and carpark, access to GZ is via gently
sloping tarmac pathway, and across 6 feet of mown grass.
