About this deal
The Normans tried to oust the Welsh from Gower in the 11th and 12th centuries by bringing in Flemish settlers, and there’s still a noticeable difference in place-names, accent and dialect between the Welsh north and Anglicised south of the peninsula.
The 2 dead end roads to it, from Llangennith and Llanmadoc (much quieter) are both single track leading to the caravan parks and their pay car park. The Beach House won AA Restaurant of the Year in Wales within a year of opening in a fantastic beachfront spot in Oxwich Bay.The terrace of Rhossili's pub overlooks the beach from the headland - it easily has the best view of any pub in the country. Measure distances, view elevation, switch layers, find amenities, and preview in 3D before your hike.
You can walk over the hill from Mumbles, or (much longer) follow the coast path around the headland.The Wales Coast Path runs around the coastline, taking in the dramatic cliffs and coves of the south, and the quieter saltmarshes of the north.
