Bracelet Bay is a small bay on the south of the Gower Peninsula. It is the first bay one comes to after leaving Swansea Bay and rounding Mumbles Head. Surrounded by limestone cliffs, the bay is pebbly, with some sand. To the west, the bay is separated from Limeslade Bay by Tutt Hill, the location of a coastguard look-out station. A notable feature of the bay is the "Big Apple" kiosk, a concrete structure that was erected by the roadside during the 1930s as an advertising feature and has been a sales outlet ever since. Several similar kiosks were erected along the South Wales coast, but the one in Bracelet Bay is the only example surviving. In 2010 it was largely rebuilt after being damaged by a vehicle the previous year, and in 2019 it was designated a Grade II listed building. The name 'Bracelet' is thought to be a corruption of 'Broad Slade'.

Caswell Bay is the first of many sheltered coves with award-winning beaches that make it easy to understand why the Gower Peninsula is such a popular retreat

Heading east to west on the B4287 from Pontrhydyfen to Neath, Sardis Hill kicks up from the junction with Ton Mawr Road and within a hundred metres hits around 14%. The pitch of the slope is further accentuated by the tall brick walls either side which are remnants of an abandoned railway bridge. Continuing to rise harshly past a couple of houses it’s not too long before you reach the gentle middle section. Take the chance to catch your breath here as before you know it the second ramp arrives to take you to the top. Longer than the first hard stretch but not quite as steep it begins abruptly then fades as you approach the summit. Passing over a small bridge, the trees either side recede and the houses of Cimla begin before you arrive at the top at the small crossroads.

A lot of people cycle NCN 887 from Port Talbot to Glyncorrwg (of which Afan Argoed is a part), but not many go beyond that. 887 continues up the mountain, and eventually meets 47. You can even keep going all the way to the A4061, follow that North until it joins NCN 46 , then 47 and 4 all the way back to Port talbot. It's a great round trip, with great views. If you like mountains, another good one is again up the NCN 887, but at Cymmer, go on to Blaegwynfi, and continue over the mountain, dropping down into one of the Rhondda valleys (hitting Treorchi). Head north, and you'll end up again on the A4061 as before. Great views again.

One of many secret bays on the Gower, enjoy the descent in, it's as steep coming out the other side!

Lovely sandy beach where we enjoyed a break from the walk to go for a swim.

Langland Bay is loved by the locals for soaking up the rare welsh sun in the summer months but also by the surfing population of Wales in the winter months. Langland is one of the best surf beaches on the Gower Peninsula with several surf breaks. On magical days you may see the famous Crab Island break producing jaw dropping tubes and you can regularly catch many renowned surfers showing off their skills when the surf pumps!  Langland Surfside has a different character to Caswell Surfside.

Langland is a bustling cafe full of regulars, walkers with their dogs and surfers alike, who stop in to refuel with a coffee and bacon roll in front of the log burner before carrying on with their day.  It's a cosy cafe nestled amongst the pebbles with great views of the beach and surf!

Lovely view of the Lighthouse.

Great little town by the sea. The beach huts are lovely.
