The number 8 bus stops just outside the pools so it’s easy to get to from Bay.</span></p> <p><em><strong>C - Ble mae Pwll Cenedlaethol Cymru?</strong></em></p> <p><em>A - Gan ddechrau at mynedfa Ty Fulton, y llwybr gorau i gymryd yw i fynd yn syth tuag at y cylchfan sydd wedi lleoli yn agos i'r neuaddau preswyl. Fan hyn trowch i'r chwith a ddilynwch y prif ffordd heibio'r ysbyty sydd ar eich dde. Croeswch Sketty Lane at y brif gyffordd ac rydych wedi cyrraedd y pwll.
