The South Wales / Swansea/Bridgend/Neath region

The Gower Peninsula in South Wales was designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1956. It was the first place to be assigned this title in the UK. Thankfully, little has changed since that time and you can still appreciate the extreme contrast from the sprawling wildlife estuary in North Gower, over the wild moor of Cefn Bryn to the sloping fields, dramatic limestone cliffs and long sandy beaches of South Gower. In fact there are probably not many places where you can see so many natural features squeezed into such a delightful but small area.

Gower is blessed with many sandy beaches, beautiful bays and interesting coves to explore. The South and West coasts of Gower vary between the sandy beaches and dramatic limestone cliffs, whereas the Northern coast of Gower forms part of the tidal Loughor Estuary where many nature reserves can be found.

Gower / Crofty area

The property is conveniently located at a central point for all of the Gower beaches. Crofty is a small village with a shop, post office, pub and chapel, however many more amenities are situated very close by. The wonderful surfing at Llangennith beach is only 15 minutes away.

Similarly, the spectatcular beauty of Worms Head and Rhosilli beach are only a short car ride away. Three Cliffs Bay, nominated as one of the best views in Wales, is within easy reach, as is the idyllic swimming beach at Oxwich Bay.

Forestfach Retail Park is only 10 minutes away with major name retailers in an out of town setting, whilst the City of Swansea is only 15km away with a modern, busy shopping centre, cinemas, bowling alley, numerous restaurants and public houses as well as the popular water park within Swansea Leisure Centre (The LC).

Mumbles is a quaint seaside resort with children's play areas, pitch and put, pier and numerous watersports.

How to get there

Travel by road - leave M4 at junction 47 and follow signs for the Gower, then Gowerton and the village of Crofty is 4 miles beyond Gowerton - just 8 miles from the M4 motorway. After travelling through Penclawdd, turn right into Crofty (signposted Pencaerfenni Lane). Bear left and follow the road through the village, take the left fork into Chapel Road and Gelli On is the imposing detached property right at the bottom of the road.
