Birthplace of poet Dylan Thomas, and the second-largest city in Wales, resilient Swansea offers a slew of leafy parks and some impressive cultural centers, including the new National Waterfront Museum and the renowned Dylan Thomas Centre. Rebuilt after WWII, the modern city of 230,000 has a charming outlook over Swansea Bay and the picturesque, unspoiled 16-mile-long Gower Peninsula, home to rich wildlife, prehistoric standing stones, dramatic cliffs and lovely beaches.

Gower Salt Marsh Lamb

Award winning Salt Marsh Lamb available for purchase here. Sought after by chefs and restauranteers alike, this is a must have product when in South Wales.

Reviewed By 41gillianb - Chigwell, United Kingdom

I’ve been buying lamb from here for the past few years, in fact awaiting for a delivery now. Delivery is always on time packed so it keeps cold and fresh always gets here the day after its sent. This lamb tastes absolutely amazing, it’s always constant in flavour, which is so different to anything you can buy in supermarkets or butchers. I can’t explain the flavour but it just tastes soooo gooood.

A lovely art gallery and venue in the city centre with a variety of artwork on display for the public. Visited during a 'Glynn Vivian at night' event, which is where the gallery is open in the evening, first time ever, had a great time.
