Having left the fields and re-entered the woodland on this Taste of Gower walk at Weobley Castle on north Gower, we encountered yet more gates. There were many more gates and stiles on this walk than I have shown and this can sometimes cause delays if the group of walkers is large, but on this occasion it did not seem to be a problem.
Of course it may have been an issue of which I was unaware, hanging back from the main group as I was and taking photos of the conversations ahead of me as well as the colours, textures and patterns of different gates and mossy walls.
The soundscape below features a number of the gates on this walk. They do not appear in the clip in real time, instead I have composed this piece to emphasise the different sounds of the gates on the walk – its as though they have their own language.

love those gates
Thank you
Alastair, what an interesting idea to make a song of the gate noises. 🙂 I enjoyed it. Where we ride in the summer, the gate rule is “If it’s open, leave it open. If it’s closed, close it.” I’m sure it’s the same there.
Happy walking.

Yep same rule here. Glad you enjoyed them – thanks very much.
