Roam Wales takes you to famous areas of Swansea & Gower in South Wales. 

We start the day travelling the M4 towards Swansea. Our first stop is the Dylan Thomas centre, where the life and works of the most famous poet Wales has ever produced can be seen.... a man who after Shakespeare is the most quoted writer in the English language. After a short walk around the Marina, an area of Swansea old dock which has been transformed and is surrounded by waterfront buildings, we continue to the village of Mumbles.

Mumbles (also known as Oystermouth) is known as the gateway to the Gower. As well as being famous for the place where the world’s first passenger railway journey took place in 1807, it is renowned for its numerous independent shops and friendly cafes. As well as being the site of Oystermouth Castle, which was once home and fortress to the Norman Lords of Gower. Mumbles lighthouse which was built in 1794 still makes passing boats aware of undersea sandbanks and is situated on the outer of two islands off Mumbles Head. It is the most photographed landmark of the village. It can be best viewed from the car park above the Victorian pier.

From Mumbles we continue to Langland and Caswell Bay. After a short stop we continue to Pennard Cliffs followed by a visit to Gower Heritage centre, a craft and rural life museum that has been developed around an historic 800 year old water powered corn and saw mill complex. Here you will have the opportunity to tour the area starting at the water wheel and finishing at the smallest cinema in Wales.

Suitably refreshed we head for our last call on todays tour. The magnificent Rhossili Bay and Worms Head. Here we visit the most western and most photographed part of Gower. And view Worms Head, which stretches out to sea but becomes an island when the tide comes in.
