Exploring Swansea and the Gower

Swansea is a lively waterfront city with a revitalised marina, a maritime quarter and the long, golden sweep of Swansea Bay curving round to the seaside village of Mumbles. Just beyond lies the Gower Peninsula — the UK’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty — with its celebrated beaches at Caswell, Langland and the spectacular Three Cliffs Bay all within easy reach. With the city, the bay and the coast all on hand, it is a wonderful base for a Swansea and Gower break. For more places to stay and things to do nearby, see our guide to accommodation in Swansea.

More to see in and around Swansea

There is plenty to fill a city break here. Swansea’s revitalised maritime quarter and marina are well worth a wander, with the excellent National Waterfront Museum telling the story of Wales’s industrial past, and the city was, of course, the birthplace of the poet Dylan Thomas. A stroll or cycle round the bay leads to Mumbles, with its Victorian pier, independent shops and ice-cream parlours, while the wide sands of Swansea Bay are perfect for a blow of sea air. Markets, theatres and a lively food scene round out the city’s appeal.
