Default Fishing near Swansea

I have a few hours in Swansea next week and I'm looking to spend some of the time fishing. Can anyone suggest anywhere within 10 miles of swansea?
Probably a stillwater rather than a river due to time constraints.
Thanks

Hi Stella,
Not as close to Swansea as you would like but I would suggest you take a trip to Garnffrwd outside Cross Hands,magical fishery,good prices,c and r and really strong full finned fish.If you pick up a copy of Trout Fisherman this month theres a write up on it,or PM me for the details(not the easiest to find unfortunately)
Regards
Stalker

Default Gower

If it was me, I'd head a few miles west and explore the Pennard Pill, a delightful little limestone river, and with a chance of sea trout too, or so I'm told.
