Company behind cable car, zipline and luge plan for Swansea hill says access to area will not be restricted

The company behind plans to create a major new leisure destination on Swansea's Kilvey Hill have reassured those living nearby that access will be retained and improved as part of proposals. Skyline Enterprises said access to the hill would continue as now if the project got the go-ahead, but with some public safety restrictions around certain areas.

It said that as well as the retention of access for groups, walkers, runners and mountain bikers, the project’s proposed cable car and chair lift system would enable more people than ever before to enjoy views from the top of the hill. The proposed cable car system would run to the top of Kilvey Hill from the area of the Hafod Morfa Copperworks.

The main content of the proposal includes Skyline’s own gravity-fuelled downhill carting experience known as the luge, a sky swing, existing and new walking trails, a zipline, additional mountain bike access and food and beverage outlets. The company said no aspect of the proposed scheme would pass over people’s homes, and many opportunities for people to give feedback on the proposals would be made available once scheme designs were advanced.
