Dist:0.3km<br/>This is the view south. Garth road used to continue under the motorway and down the river, emerging where there is now a huge new ASDA. This end of the road is now closed and the middle section is gone. Some of it has become part of cycle route 43.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Actual swans in Swansea ! There were about 3 white ones and one black one on this section of river. They didn't seem particularly frightened of the people from the caravan park on the west bank.

Dist:1.0km southwest<br/>This lake is sandwiched between a busy road and some levelled wasteland that is occasionally used as a park & ride for the Liberty Stadium (and an impromptu caravan park the rest of the time). Despite the litter and shopping trolleys, the ducklings and dragonflies are still surviving.

Dist:1.0km west<br/>The curious looking device on a well weighed down tripod seen here on the roof of a house's garage is part of a network of pollution monitoring stations placed in various strategic locations around Swansea. More information and recent data from this and other monitoring stations can be found at http://test.swansea.airqualitydata.com/cgi-bin/dustsites.cgi . The picture was taken on the M4 motorway - a pileup just ahead had closed the road and was being cleared to the hard shoulder at the time the picture was taken.
