The South Wales / Swansea/Bridgend/Neath region

Designated as Britain’s first area of outstanding natural beauty – and deservedly so because Gower has some of the most beautiful scenery you are ever likely to see. Just 18 miles long and less than 8 miles wide the area has nearly 400 miles of public rights of way, and 23 nature reserves. Gower offers a great variety of beaches and coves which attract everyone from surfers, sailors, to the bucket and spade brigade.

The Gower area

A five minute walk away is Horton Beach, a fairly quiet sandy bay popular with locals. The next closest beach is Port Eynon (about 5 minutes by car), generally busier because it has more parking and facilities and is patrolled by lifeguards in the summer months. The village of Port Eynon, is a hamlet of white washed cottages surrounding a church which, it is believed was founded in the 6th century and has a shop, a public house and a café (open in season) and is steeped in a history with visable evidence of Oyster dredging, shipwrecks smuggling and piracy.

A 10 minute drive will take you to Rhossili Bay, a wide beach with miles of golden sand. At one end is Burry Holmes, an outcrop of land, with a tiny chapel. Beyond the headland is Broughton Bay which has an abundance of sand dunes. At the other end of Rhossili Bay is the Worms Head which rears out of the sea with its impressive Blow Hole which you can explore at low tide, and up on the cliff top is the village of Rhossili where there are a few shops and cafes with some amazing views over the bay – watch out for the paragliders.

The village of Llangennith is half way along the bay and about a mile inland. There is a campsite and caravan park set back from the beach with parking, a café and facilities – a good base if you want to enjoy the beach and popular with surfers. With only a pub and a surf shop the village of Llangennith remains untouched, but the pub fayre is fairly inexpensive with nice views over the bay complimented by a very tasty Gower Special pizza (cockles and bacon).

Travelling in the opposite direction, Oxwich Bay is the next beach along from Port Eynon (15 by car ) and probably the busiest of the rural beaches on Gower with good facilities. The Oxwich Bay Hotel offers bar meals as well as a restaurant and the beach itself has a water sports club where you can learn to sail or surf, wakeboard or take a doughnut ride - and if you don’t feel like driving to Oxwich you could travel by water taxi.

At the other end of Oxwich is Three Cliffs Bay (finalist on TV’s ‘Britain’s favourite view’ programme) – one of the most photographed beauty spots on Gower. Here a river meets the sea, sheep graze on the grassy verges overlooking the beach, wild ponies roam freely and the board walk winds its way up to Pennard Castle. There’s a lot to absorb in just one snapshot.

Travelling East along the South Gower Road for another 10minutes is Parkmill, where you will find the Gower Heritage Centre with its many attractions for all the family including an 800 year old working water mill. A few yards away are 70 acres of peaceful Parc le Breos where you can take a quiet stroll, hire bikes or enjoy a day out on horseback.

At the centre of the peninsula is the lofty moor land called Cefn Bryn, one of the highest points on Gower, and the burial ground of the legendary King Arthur. From here, on a clear day you can see as far as Devon to the south and the Black Mountains to the North.

The village of Reynoldston is just across the green, home to the King Arthur Hotel where some of the best pub fayre in the area can be found.

If a little more action is your cup of tea, then try the old fishing village of Mumbles (from Port Eynon it's approximately half an hour by car) where there are cafes, and restaurants, gift shops and boutiques in abundance. Make sure you don't leave without enjoying a stroll along the promenade with a Joe's ice cream - the best in area.
