Swansea Maritime Quarter

Swansea’s Maritime Quarter, centred around the marina and Swansea Bay, combines vibrant waterfront living with maritime and industrial heritage. Wander past beautiful moored yachts, visit the National Waterfront Museum or explore the square dedicated to Wales’ most famous poet, Dylan Thomas. Enjoy cafés, shops and scenic views of Swansea Bay.

Mumbles Village

The quaint village of Mumbles (also known as Oystermouth) is known as the ‘Gateway to the Gower’ and marks the beginning of the Gower Peninsula’s coastline. It is steeped in history and tradition. Mumbles is famous as the place where the world’s first passenger railway journey took place in 1807, as well as traditional Welsh gifts at the Lovespoon Gallery.

Wales Coast Path walk

Ever popular, the Wales Coast Path walk from Langland Bay to the glorious sandy beach of Caswell Bay is a real ‘must see’. With stunning views of amazing coastal scenery, this coastal path hugs the clifftops between Langland Bay and Caswell Bay and offers the chance to spot wildlife such as rare birds, grey seals, lizards and even adders or a basking shark! The rock formations in the cliffs here are designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

Rhossili Bay and Worm's Head

Voted number one in Rough Guides ‘Most Beautiful Beaches in Wales’ 2022, Rhossili Bay encompasses one of the Gower’s most famous landmarks, Worm’s Head. This one of the most beautiful places in the UK and the views are beyond compare.

Return to Cardiff

We return to central Cardiff, leaving you free to enjoy your evening in Wales’ capital city.

My guide was charming, thoughtful and delightful, very informative about everything Welsh. The National Maritime museum was very thorough and interesting… the Welsh countryside was unique and very beautiful… top notch kind and gentlemanly guide.
