The Gower Peninsula is one of those places that, although it is close to a city would not seem so - it is a rural setting, with urban life on its doorstep. Let me explain!

Gower, although not an actual 'Area of Outstanding Beauty'; 'National Park' and that (or whatsoever you want to call it!), is still in my mind an area where paradise is all but felt.

As already noted, it is on the doorstep of a city - Swansea. The very second you leave here, you meet the awesomeness of the area. In order to fully respect it, just go there! Like most things, you can never appreciate things without being there for yourself.

On arriving, you will find a whole host and mixture of things to do. From coastal paths; through country village pubs; to spectacular views, even to surfing beaches - there is something to do for all of the family. There are also a number of golf courses (yawn!), to nature reserves that again should cater for any taste.

But should you ever get bored with this lifestyle (which is VERY doubtful indeed!), there are always the highlights of Swansea. Top name shops; markets, and so on - all one would expect from a city.

In order to get to the Gower, you in fact need to pass through good old Swansea. Enter South Wales via the M4 bridge, if you are coming from the south/ eastern part of the country. However on approach from the north, you can in fact have the choice of both the old and/ or new crossing. Of course, there are train services to Swansea whereby you are able to pick up bus/ taxi/ care rental services.

never been - sounds great though!

I have very fond memories of the Gower, not least having speny part of our honeymoon at Oxwich Bay. I liked this as the start and end of a review, but was looking for some concrete examples of places to visit there - Rosilli, Three Cliffs, Oxwich. This specific detail would have easily turned this into a VH. If you do add this, let me know and I'll happily re-rate. Adam

I'm very lucky to live very close to here, and can visit anytime, and often go for a drive around Gower.........Roy....
