The Gower Peninsula is a beautiful, peaceful and unspoilt area in South West Wales. I would recommend it for a holiday or a short break.

There are many stunning beaches and bays, cliff walks and woodland trails.

Three Cliffs bay is unreachable by road, there are several footpaths that will lead you to this stunning isolated bay, the sea is blue and clear.

Oxwich bay is a popular location for families, the beach is two miles long. The Oxwich bay hotel has a public bar and serves food, there is also a cafe and a nearby campsite.

Rhossilli beach is a surfer-friendly beach, at one end of the beach is the town of Llangennith which has a really good campsite called Hillend Camping site which is popular with surfers and young people. There is a pub called the Kings Head in Llangenith about 10 minutes walk away from the campside its nice and cosy serves good meals.

At the other side of Rhossilli bay is an outcrop of rock called the Worm’s head which you are able to walk out to depending on the tides.

The Worms Head Hotel overlooks Rhossilli bay and sells good food.

The Gower Peninsula was the first ever dedicated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the UK back in the 1950’s. It has barely changed in the half century that has gone past since. It is tremendously beautiful and wonderfully well kept.

There are numerous beaches which all have their own individual charm and most have earned a European blue flag for cleanliness (and loveliness). Rhossilli Bay spans hundreds of metres of pure sands and attracts surfers from around the UK. Oxwich, Port Eynon, Langland and Caswell are more tourist orientated with brightly coloured beach huts dotted around and seas patrolled by lifeguards.

Over the dunes and away from the beaches there are nature walks, farms and holiday camps taking advantage of the inherent natural beauty of the area and many people enjoy a huge variety of activities across the area such as paragliding, pony-trekking and hiking.

A truly beautiful area and an alluring place full of natural magic. Everywhere you turn on the Gower feels like a picture postcard. For a taste of the natural gorgeousness of Wales; the Gower is essential viewing.
