Three Crosses, Swansea

Three Crosses, Swansea

Three Crosses ( _cy. Y Crwys) is a village at the north-eastern end of the Gower peninsula, Swansea, Wales. Situated at a crossroad on the road from Swansea city centre (10 km) to Penclawdd (5 km), it grew up in the early 19th century to serve small shallow collieries in the area. These collieries disappeared by the early years of the 20th century, and since then Three Crosses has developed as a large dormitory village for Swansea. For administration, it is part of Llanrhidian Higher community, in the City and County of Swansea.
