Guidebook to walking on the Gower Peninsula in South Wales. Describes 30 circular, low level walks ranging from 3–14 miles (4–23km), taking in a variety of landscapes, including stunning coastal scenery. The selection of routes offer something for all abilities; a fit walker will not find any of them particularly strenuous.

Seasons

Spring is the best time to see the cliffs adorned with colourful flowers. Summer offers walks combined with sea swims and the woodlands are at their best in the autumn.

Centres

Mumbles is the largest town with a sweeping bay and has been been described as Wales’s version of Naples.

Difficulty

All the routes are low level and range from easy short strolls to long distance day walks. There are a few ascents to the top of Rhossili Down and Cefn Bryn but these are not that taxing. Route finding is generally straight forward.

Must See

Three Cliffs Bay is the standout picture-postcard scene with its ruined castle, estuary and sea arch. A trip out to Worms Head is an adventure that will not be forgotten.
