Living at East Cwm Ivy
Lived at East Cwm Ivy as a child from 1973 to 1980. This photo does not show our house but the view from it to the houses you go past to go to the beach.

On our way to Three Cliffs Bay
For my sister, Carol, and I, Parkmill meant only one thing - Shepherd's Shop.
The only place to buy ice cream and sweets and even the new 'Coca Cola'. We always stopped here on our way to and my aunt's wooden bungalow almost on the beach at Three Cliffs Bay where we spent many, many happy summers. What wonderful days they were.

My Mom's little Dog
Mom was born in Swansea in 1924. She adopted a dog from our local Animal Care and Control in Michigan 1998 - she fell in love with her. She named her Pennard after this place. She loved it here.

Extracts From Llanmadoc & West Glamorgan books
The ‘City of Bristol’ foundered on the Llangennith sands in 1840. According to the Cambrian newspaper, 27
people drowned, but pigs and cattle swam ashore and were penned at Cwm Ivy farm. The remains of an Iron Age
hill fort (the Bulwark), dating from 700BC-100AD, may be seen on Llanmadog hill. Allegedly a ghost may be seen
in Llanmadog churchyard.
