From Swansea: the Best Of Gower- Cliffs, Beaches, and Beyond

Escape Swansea for a day and discover the best spots of the Gower Peninsula, one of Wales' five Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Be enchanted by Swansea Marina, with its historical docks. Grab a cup of coffee, take a leisurely stroll, and snap photos of the many little boats and yellow-brick buildings. Continue deeper into the heart of the Gower Peninsula with a visit to Cefn Bryn, an ancient ridge. Here, admire King Arthur’s Stone, a double-chambered megalithic tomb with a massive capstone perched on pointed stones, dating back 4,500 years. The highlight of your tour will be a visit to Rhossili Bay, the crown jewel of the Gower Peninsula and its most visited location. Explore the surroundings with a stunning cliff-top walk, encounter Welsh wild horses, and enjoy a refreshment while taking in the breath-taking view of Rhossili Beach. This beach has been voted the best in the UK, the best in Europe, and consistently ranks among the world's best. On your journey toward Caswell Bay, enjoy the narrow roads, green fields, and charming rural villages. Upon reaching Caswell Bay, you can choose to embark on a magnificent cliff-top walk (1 1/4 miles) leading to Langland Bay. With breath-taking views and numerous viewpoints, it's the perfect location for capturing memorable photos. Alternatively, if you prefer to relax, take some time for yourself to enjoy the beach or savor an ice cream by the seafront. After a short ride, you'll arrive at Mumbles Lighthouse, which has been operating for 230 years. Take the opportunity to explore the pier or enjoy the stunning views of the lighthouse situated on an islet in the ocean. Explore the various shops in Mumbles Village and pick up an ice cream, a souvenir, or a beautiful Welsh love spoon. Sit back and relax during your journey back to Swansea, which will bring you to the same collection point as in the morning.
