Swansea Bay and the Gower Peninsula in South West Wales are absolute havens for those seeking a peaceful escape to connect with nature. From the rugged moors and striking limestone cliffs, to the secluded coves and expansive stretches of sandy beaches, you’re surrounded by an incredible wealth of wildlife. Expect to encounter an array of birds, butterflies, wildflowers and waterfalls as you explore this wonderful region steeped in rich history and culture. There are numerous charming towns, quaint villages, fascinating castles and excellent restaurants using local and organic produce nearby that are definitely worth exploring.
We stayed at The King’s Head, Llangennith, a charming traditional inn with stone walls and wooden beams. It’s nestled within the slopes of three Welsh valleys, Llanmadoc Hill, Rhossili Down, and Hardingsdown. The inn is set in the heart of the village, right across from a lovely medieval church and village green. It’s a rustic and enchanting place to stay, and its location makes it easy to take a stroll to the coast on the western tip of the Gower.
Across the road, there’s a surf shop, and just a short drive away, there’s a post office and community shop. Whether you’re interested in surfing or just soaking up the serene surroundings, this is an ideal location to unwind and appreciate the beauty of the Gower.
