The Gower Peninsula was the UK’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – and it still warrants the label. Visit for breath-taking sights of wild moors, limestone cliffs and golden, sandy beaches. This includes the wild and rugged Three Cliffs Bay – a spectacular sandy shoreline complete with marshes and three limestone cliffs, hence the name. This is the stunning place which inspired so much beauty in Dylan Thomas’ writing.
Whiteford National Nature Reserve includes an expanse of sandy beach, a collection of sand dunes teeming with wildlife and a forest. Starting from the cliffs of Broughton Bay and facing the Whiteford Lighthouse out to sea, it is an incredibly peaceful spot. The reserve’s mudflats, sands and salt marshes make it home to wildfowl and wading birds at certain times of the year.
