Swansea & Mumbles

Wales' second city and its seaside suburb Mumbles are the gateway to the Gower. Swansea gives you a five-mile bay promenade, markets and city comforts; Mumbles adds the pier and the ice cream. From here the whole first-AONB peninsula — Three Cliffs, Rhossili, Worm's Head — is under half an hour away.
