Broad Pool
Broad Pool lies in a shallow basin on the limestone plateau beneath Cefn Bryn. It is one of the most conspicuous and best-known features of central Gower. The pool is known to have been in existence in 1645.
The Pool contains a rich assemblage of aquatic plants, including Lesser Marshwort and Alternate Water-milfoil, both rare in South Wales. Fringed Water lily is present and has dominated the aquatic vegetation in the past.
This attractive and uncommon plant is only native in a small area of southeast England and was introduced to Broad Pool in around 1952
