Activities

Southgate is a perfect place to walk out and explore the section of coast stretching from Pwll Du to Three Cliffs Bay. Three Cliffs is a stunning beach which has become one of the most photographed in the UK. The path lets you enjoy some of Wales’ finest limestone grassland and dazzling views of Gower and South Pembrokeshire. At the end of your walk, you can stop for a picnic at Three Cliffs and enjoy breathtaking views of Pennard Castle.

There is a circular walk which stretches from Southgate to Pwll Du ideal for walking enthusiasts and nature lovers. The walk showcases plants flourishing in limestone grassland. If you love flowers, look out for the yellow whitlow grass which is only found in the area. The walk also covers varied terrain ranging from woodland paths to stony tracks.

Golf

Designed by James Braid, the Pennard Golf Club is set in one of Britain’s most dramatic landscapes. Its cliff-top site provides golfers with stunning views of Oxwich and Three Cliffs. The club was founded in 1908 and is one of Wales’ oldest golf courses. However, it is believed that golf was played at the site since 1896. The most interesting thing about the golf course is that it has no average holes. Each hole is different from the next.

Pennard Castle

Dramatic and beautiful, this castle is set on the valley of Pennard Pill. It was commissioned by Henry de Beaumont who was the first Earl of Warwick. It enjoys sweeping views of Three Cliffs Bay and Penmaen Burrows. The castle boasts a great location but was vulnerable to sand blow, a fact that led to its abandonment by the end of the fourteenth century.

Three cliffs Bay

This beach will take your breath away. It is set near many Southgate holiday cottages and is a great spot to relax and unwind. It gets its name from the 3 sea cliffs that project into the bay. There is a large stream known as Pennard Pill which goes into the sea at the bay’s midpoint.

Oxwich Bay

Filled with salt marshes, large sand dunes, and huge expanses of sand, Oxwich is a picture-perfect bay. It covers 2.5 miles and is accessible from Oxwich village. The beach is popular with swimmers but tends to be overcrowded in good weather. It is renowned for wind surfing, sailing, diving, and jet skiing. It also has a slipway for boats.
