Gower-a peninsula full of coves, cliffs
and beaches.
| just a few short and bendy miles from Swansea Bay and Mumbles,
past Swansea airport and you are in the peninsula known as Gower. It was
the first area in the UK to be designated as 'An Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty' (AONB). It boasts clean and award winning beaches, and a
host of other attractions within its rugged coastline. I've been a
couple of times with a digital camera.
Tor bay was worth a look, I thought, so I parked in a tiny car park and
followed a well maintained path towards the bay. And what a bay! |

Warm enough to paddle in early
June.
Britain has now largely overcome its 'Dirty Man' of Europe
through much money and effort over the last few years. |

as much room as you need for the biggest
sand castle you could wish to make. |

I'm no bird enthusiast but enjoyed photographing them on
this walk. |

Oxwich Bay is the next Bay
along in a westerley direction. And it's huge. You can see a panorama of it
by clicking here.
The Bay holds the coveted green flag. |
