Dist:0.6km<br/>The Bush was across the road from the Vivian Arms, which was always more favoured by the students. The Bush was more of a local, the bell-ringers from St.Paul's Sketty, would go there on practice night. Just to the right was the International Stores.

Dist:1.0km<br/>West of Cefn Coed, on the high point of the hill is a covered reservoir accompanied by this water tower. Like the tower of the nearby Cefn Coed hospital it is prominent on the skyline and can be seen from within Swansea to the south and for several miles outside Swansea to the north as well.

Dist:1.2km east<br/>The park is very a traditional one (it dates from 1874) and on a dull autumn afternoon not very cheerful in appearance. It lies only a stone's throw from Dylan Thomas's childhood home and in later life he described it thus "that small, iron-railed universe of rockery, gravel-path, playbank, bowling-green, bandstand reservoir, chrysanthemum garden, …..in the grass one must keep off, I endured, with pleasure, the first agonies of unrequited love, the first slow boiling in the belly of a bad poem, the strutting and raven-locked self-dramatization of what, at that time seemed incurable adolescence."

Dist:1.2km east<br/>One of many parks in Swansea suburbs. There is a raised bank on the north boundary with paths under trees and lower flat areas with playgrounds and fields.

Dist:1.2km east<br/>The preponderance of evergreens gives this park a sombre atmosphere. Dylan Thomas wrote a poem about "The Hunchback in the Park" he remembered taking refuge here.
