A limestone cliff near Pilton on the south coast of the Gower Peninsula. It is close to Paviland Cave, where a prehistoric human skeleton known as the 'Red Lady' was discovered in 1823.
Team 1 of Series 5 began their quest at Foxhole Slade, a craggy valley with a drystone wall
running along its centre, where
Smirkenorff was waiting to fly his first
dungeoneer.

Down, the highest point on the Gower, can be seen on the horizon shortly after take-off.
On top of the 60m high sheer cliffs is Paviland Camp (also known as Yellow Top), an Iron Age promontory fort with clearly visible ramparts. The
dragon flew Kathryn out to sea before landing at
Llansteffan Castle.
Team 7 of Series 5 met Smirkenorff at the base of Paviland Main Cliff, a popular climbing location. He was subsequently found here by every
team of
Series 6 and
Series 7 (except
Team 4 of Series 6, who only used the
Descender to
change levels).
Romahna described these rocks as "
one of Smirky's nesting ledges".
He took off past the crag named Paviland Far Far Far West.
