Escape Cardiff for a day and discover the best spots of the Gower Peninsula, one of Wales’ five Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. As you journey toward Swansea, your first stop of the day, delve into the history of Wales from Roman times to the present. Be enchanted by Swansea Marina, with its historical docks. Grab a cup of coffee, take a leisurely stroll, and snap photos of the many little boats and yellow-brick buildings.

After a short ride, you’ll arrive at Mumbles village, free time to explore the charming little shops, pick up lunch at one of the many bakeries, and enjoy a leisurely stroll along the seafront or near the Norman castle.

Take a close look to Mumbles Lighthouse, which has been operating for more than 230 years. Take the opportunity to explore the pier or enjoy the stunning views of the lighthouse situated on an islet in the ocean.

Upon reaching Langland Bay, you can choose to embark on a magnificent cliff-top walk (1 1/4 miles) leading to Caswell Bay. With breath-taking views and numerous viewpoints, it’s the perfect location for capturing memorable photos. Alternatively, if you prefer to relax, take some time for yourself to enjoy the beach or savor an ice cream by the seafront.

The highlight of your tour will be a visit to Rhossili Bay, the crown jewel of the Gower Peninsula and its most visited location. Explore the surroundings with a stunning cliff-top walk, encounter Welsh wild horses, and enjoy a refreshment while taking in the breath-taking view of Rhossili Beach. This beach has been voted the best in the UK, the best in Europe, and consistently ranks among the world’s best.

Participants engage at their own risk, with adults or parents determining if the event is appropriate for them. Participation levels in any event are solely personal decisions. We suggest securing a personal activity insurance plan to guard against potential income loss in the unlikely event of an accident during a walk.
