The Gower Cottages
Please find below a selection of self catering holiday cottages
near The Gower, Wales.
Book a Gower Peninsula cottage and discover the UK's
original Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - a mass of limestone
cliffs, butterscotch beaches, pounding surf and amazing flora.
Little wonder Dylan Thomas was inspired to write such
masterpieces.
This stunning region is the perfect backdrop for a plethora of
recreational activities. Explore the Gower Way, a 35-mile route
crossing the peninsula from east to west, passing some fascinating
historical sites along the way. Or head for the Vale of Neath,
known locally as 'Waterfall Country'. Enthusiasts might
also be interested in the annual Gower Walking Festival. Other
pursuits include riding, climbing, golf and all kinds of water
sports.
Much of the coast is protected by the National Trust and, when
it comes to beaches, the Gower boasts endless award-winning sandy
coves and sweeping bays. From rock-pooling and sandcastle building,
to sunbathing and sailing, a day on a Gower beach will be truly
memorable. Pride of place goes to the magnificent bay at Rhossili,
a mind-boggling, 3-mile stretch of golden sands popular with
surfers. Other beauties include the tranquil setting of Pwll Du,
Penclawdd for wild ponies and cockle-beds and Three Cliffs Bay for
jaw-dropping views. For families, try Langland Bay, Caswell Bay and
Port Eynon.
What else? Castles, caves and shipwrecks. The Gower Church
Trail. A vibrant crafts and rural life museum at the Gower Heritage
Centre. And some wonderful nature reserves - woodland, grassland
and cliff-top - offering some fantastic wildlife watching
opportunities.
So, whether it's a family holiday by the sea or a walking
weekend for two, try a Gower Peninsula cottage holiday.
