About the area
Pwll facts
Pwll is an exposed stretch of the Swansea and Gower coastline, shaped by salt wind, sand and rock. It is part of the Llanelli, Burry Port & the Amman Valley area, within about 30 miles of Swansea.
- Amelia Earhart landed here on 17 June 1928 after the first transatlantic flight by a woman.
- The village sits on a narrow ledge above the tidal Burry Estuary, with views to Gower.
- Forms part of Swansea's coastline along the Bristol Channel, where the tidal range is among the largest in the world.
- Cliffs, dunes and shingle here support specialised plants that cope with salt, wind and shifting sand.

Local habitat
Where to look
Cliffs, dunes, coast-path edges, scrub and disturbed beach approaches are the main places where invasive or escaping garden plants can establish around Pwll.
This is habitat guidance, not a claim that a particular property or site is infested.
