There is so much to
see and do in Swansea
and so many attractions in Swansea . In fine weather it will be
difficult to drag yourself from the beautiful beaches of the Gower. Gower was the
first area in Great Britain to be designated an area of outstanding natural
beauty and as soon as you see it you will understand why. It is a favourite
location for walkers and families and offers a perfect get a way from city life.
With so many beaches and small isolated bays it is usually possible to find a
beach to yourself!
For more information about our location and local attractions there is a list of links at the bottom of this page. Getting around by bus in now easier as the city buses now use Oystermouth Road. Also you can get a Day Explorer Ticket for £4.OO to explore the Gower. For Mumbles and Pennard A First Day Swansea City Ticket is also £4.00. These tickets allow you to make as many trips as you want in the day. For more information we highly recommend you go to www.baytrans.org.uk. This not only gives you all the timetables and information you need but details many walks, attractions, places to eat and lots more.
