Swansea
Welcome to Swansea Bay, Mumbles, Gower, Afan and the Vale of Neath!
Experience the vibrant maritime city of Swansea, birthplace of Catherine Zeta Jones and Dylan Thomas, with its wealth of culture and nightlife. Some of the highlights include the National Waterfront Museum, Wales' largest indoor market and the lively Café Quarter
Just a stone's throw away across the sandy bay lies the quaint Victorian resort of Mumbles, with its renowned ice-cream parlours, pier and boutiques, where you can buy everything from traditional lovespoons to trendy surf gear!
Mumbles is known as 'the getaway to Gower', Britain's first designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Words cannot possibly do justice to the beauty of the tiny peninsula, where wide sandy bays, secluded coves, rugged cliffs and seaside villages combine into a mix of spectacular contrasts. The beauty of Gower has fascinated generations of visitors, and its protected status makes it a haven for walking, horse riding and watersports enthusiasts
Speaking of great outdoors, do not miss the green, green valleys of Neath, also known as the 'Waterfall Country', and Afan Forest, one of the world's top mountain biking destinations!
