From Visit Swansea Bay:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Just a short drive from Swansea, the Gower Peninsula is more than just a pretty face. Now known as Gower National Landscape \u2013 and area of outstanding natural beauty, it was designated as the UK\u2019s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty back in 1956.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gower Peninsula is a rich and varied environment which is as ecologically diverse as it is beautiful \u2013 from open, wild moors and dramatic limestone cliffs to golden, sandy beaches. Gower is a geological goldmine with inspiring landscapes and a captivating coastline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rhossili Bay has been voted into the top ten of beaches in Britain on numerous occasions, the sunsets are a must-see! Three Cliffs Bay\u2019s iconic vista provides a photo stop for walkers on the Gower coast path. Cefn Bryn common is home to neolithic burial chamber King Arthur\u2019s Stone and the intrigue continues with the peculiar cliff structure Culver Hole near Port Eynon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With some of the most awesome waves in Britain, sandy Llangennith has been popular amongst surfers for decades. True adrenaline junkies can try a spot of coasteering \u2013 climb the cliffs and leap into the waves below, not for the faint hearted! Make sure you\u2019re always accompanied by a professional\u2013 there are a number of activity providers who would be delighted to hear from you. And if that sounds a bit too much, you can always hop aboard boat and do a bit of seal and dolphin spotting from the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 19 mile-long Peninsula starts at Mumbles and extends westwards.  It\u2019s famous for its jaw-dropping coastline and beaches (from vast Rhossili Bay to cosy and secluded Pwll Du), and is a favourite destination for walkers and surfers.  Inland you\u2019ll find sheltered woodland and rolling grasslands; country pubs and fine food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s no surprise that walking in Gower is so popular, it’s home to some of the most beautiful sections of the Wales Coast Path (even though we are biased). Grab your boots and be prepared for a spectacular waterfront walk. It\u2019s not all about sea and sand either \u2013 you\u2019ll encounter lush woodlands and stunning countryside views along the way.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
