It has a local shop, pet shop, Post Office located in The Blue Anchor (Wednesday's and Friday's 12 until 3), a few pubs, a primary school and local football teams senior and junior and previously cricket until the team folded. The village is concentrated along the north of the A484. The land rises away from the coast providing a view of the Gower Peninsula (Penrhyn Gŵyr). Aviation historyOn June 17, 1928 pioneering aviatrix Amelia Earhart landed near the village in a Fokker F.VIIb/3m after flying exactly 20 hours and 40 minutes non-stop from Trepassey Harbor, Newfoundland. She became the first woman to fly non-stop across the Atlantic. A commemorative blue plaque now marks the site.[1] As most of the flight was on instruments and Earhart because had no training for this type of flying, she did not pilot the aircraft. When interviewed after landing, she said, "Stultz did all the flying—had to. I was just baggage, like a sack of potatoes." She added, "... maybe someday I'll try it alone."[2] In 1932 she completed her solo Transatlantic solo flight. Citations1. ^Dorrell, Richard.
