September 27, 2021 Jeremy Dunfee

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.

Llangennith Beach

Reviewed By X5850MMrobw

A fabulous expanse of beach with plenty of space to keep your social distance! It's clean too. Good parking - OK it's £5 even for a short stay, but worth it - free out of season.

Gower Peninsula

Reviewed By LucanScreed - Swansea, United Kingdom

It's the closest thing to Heaven most of us will ever get - spectacular beaches, two stunning ridge walks, along Rhossili Down, the other on Cefn Bryn, woodland, streams, 3 microbreweries, fantastic bars and restaurants, and did I mention the beaches - Three Cliffs is like nowhere else in the world. Everywhere there are views that will leave you speechless. I', a lucky bastard - I live here.

Three Cliffs Bay

Reviewed By DeejDeej - Istanbul, Turkey

If you park at the Gower heritage center ( a small parking fee) , they will give you a small map for a lovely walk to the beach. Passing through a woodlands, pass a castle ruins on the jills with beautiful veiws and do wn theough the sand dunes , through a small river or over stepping stones onto a beautiful beach with transparent water. In summer it feels like youre abroad.

Breakout Live Swansea

Breakout Swansea is Wales’s premier escape game. Immersed in teams of 2-6, you have 60 minutes to find the clues, solve the puzzles and (hopefully) Escape!

Reviewed By cmc24601 - Swansea, United Kingdom

Thoroughly enjoyed our experience completing the Mumbles Bunker room. Having been to other escape games previously, it definitely compares well (perhaps better than some others!) and the game itself was great. Not too difficult but enough of a challenge and something for everyone to help out with / complete. Our host was Ash and he did a great job as game-master. Would definitely go back to try some different rooms!

Had our first take away Sunday takeaway dinner today. Without any doubt the best Sunday dinner I've ever had. I'm a vege and had the mushroom wellington. It was fantastic. Top quality, great value and plenty of it.

A lovely well kept park, the dog loves it ! Not far from the city centre. The only downside is finding a parking space nearby.
