Burry Holms
Burry Holms is a small tidal island located at the northern end of the Gower Peninsula, Wales. 9,000 years ago it was up to 12 miles (19 km) away from the sea and inhabited by nomadic Mesolithic hunters. Flint tools provided the first evidence of their existence in 1919, since when charcoal, charred hazelnut shells, and tools made out of wood and bone have also been found.
Llangennith, Llanmadoc and Cheriton
Llangennith, Llanmadoc and Cheriton are villages in Swansea, south Wales. Together they share a community council.
Broughton Bay
Broughton Bay is a beach of the Gower Peninsula, south Wales, located at the north western tip. The bay is backed by sand dunes further inland. Access to the adjacent Whiteford Sands beach to the west is only available at low tide. The bay is not suitable for swimming or other water sports due to its proximity to the Loughor estuary. The waters experience very strong currents from the Loughor estuary with powerful waves along with high tides and shifting sand banks.
Whiteford Sands
Whiteford Sands is a two mile expanse of beach on the northern side of the Gower Peninsula, south Wales. It is the most northerly beach on Gower and sits on the edge of the Loughor estuary. The beach has no direct access by car. Visitors have to park near the village of Llanmadoc, and make their way on foot via country paths. Its relative inaccessibility compared to many other beaches in the Gower makes it a very quiet beach.
Mewslade Bay
Mewslade Bay is a sandy beach in the south of the Gower Peninsula, Wales. To the east lies Butterslade, to the west lies Fall Bay. It is accessible via a rocky wooded path which is muddy in places. The beach is popular with surfers. At high tide, the sandy beach is submerged by the sea.
Blue Pool Bay
The Bay[edit] Blue Pool Bay is a small cove, situated about a mile away from the village of Llangennith in the Gower. The cove is surrounded by natural cliffs, and is accessible all the time via the cliff path. There is a small, unstable path down the cliff face to get to it. This path is unfenced. The beach is often fully covered at high tide. On this beach is a natural pool, that is 8ft (2.4m) deep. This pool is well-known locally, and many people enjoy tomb-stoning.
Whiteford National Nature Reserve
Whiteford National Nature Reserve includes an expanse of sandy beach, Whiteford Sands, a wildlife rich sand dune system and forest. The 3 kilometre stretch of sand that curves gently from the cliffs of Broughton Bay towards the poetically isolated Whiteford Lighthouse is one of the quietest spots on the Gower Peninsula. The reserve’s various mudflats, sands and salt marshes make it one of the most important wintering areas in Wales for wildfowl and wading birds.
