Burry Green

Burry Green is a quiet, quintessential North Gower hamlet. Like its name suggests, the village possesses quite a large green and consists otherwise of a few houses, a chapel (once the main focal point for North Gower Methodists) and numerous farmsteads.

There is a small pond on the green which has become quite notorious for its maverick geese – who have been known to launch more than the odd unprovoked attack on unsuspecting admirers (this author included).
