Nearby you can watch the graceful red kite swoop down for food provided by the Red Kite Feeding Station in Llanddeusant (5.5 miles).

A path leads you to the chapel where you can pause and admire the countryside views before entering through the original porch, with a seat to perch on whilst removing muddy boots. The porch also serves as a wood store and has a bespoke wooden door to take you inside.
