Upper Killay

Upper Killay

Upper Killay is the name of a village and a community in Swansea, south Wales. Upper Killay has its own elected community council. The Clyne Valley cycle track passes though the village. Upper Killay is considered the gateway to the Gower peninsula when coming from the east. The main road through the village passes over a cattle grid to the west, which marks the start of Fairwood Common.

The village has its own rugby team called Swansea Uplands RFC. Their clubhouse and playing fields are located to the south of the village on Fairwood Common.

Notable residents include Welsh filmmaker Andrew Jones.
