Rachel’s Guidebook
Sightseeing
The coastal path between Caswell Bay and Langland Bay is a fantastic walk to do in any weather. It is only about 2 miles and although some hills is not too taxing! You will also be able to spot a seal popping up from the water below a lot of the time!
Great cafes, brilliant beaches.

My absolute favourite place. Whatever the weather, whatever the time of day - Rhossilli never fails to take your breath away.
Fab cafes and pubs in the surrounding areas. But most importantly stunning walks, whether that be to Worm’s Head (which can only be reached when the tide is out so make sure you check the tide times!), or the walk from Llangennith to Rhosilli - there is a walk for every capability.

The wildest beach in the Gower - this nature reserve offers amazing walks and tons of wildlife. You will hardly ever see another living soul whilst down there!

The Mumbles promenade is a lovely place to go for an afternoon walk, stopping in Joe’s Ice Cream parlour is a must! Otherwise you can find beautiful seafood either in the two main fish and chip shops or in The Gower Seafood Hut.
Gin & Juice is a must for a brunch spot or for evening cocktails.
Castellamare’s Italian food is famous around Swansea - just make sure you book as it is very popular!

A great surf spot! There are lots of surf schools that base themselves in Caswell Bay for those wanting to give it a go!
