Gower Peninsula
This small peninsula on the southern coast of Wales packs a big
punch. Designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty by the UK
government, Gower is home to some of the most popular holiday
destinations in Wales, including the resort towns of Swansea,
Mumbles, Rhossili, and Llangennith. Though it's just 16 by 7 miles
(26 by 11km) in size, the area has a large concentration of blue
flag-certified beaches, including Bracelet Bay, Caswell Bay,
Langland Bay, Port Eynon, and the Swansea Marina.
The Gower Peninsula also contains a number of historical
attractions, including the island of Burry Holms, which has been
inhabited since the Iron Age; Cefn Bryn, home to Arthur's Stone;
Giant's Grave, a prehistoric burial chamber containing
4,500-year-old skeletons; and the Norman castle ruins at Threecliff
Bay.
The main reason to holiday in Gower is its natural beauty
though, and beyond the beaches and the cities you'll find many
miles of pretty walking trails, flowering gardens, scenic vistas,
and abundant wildlife.
