More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You leave Cardiff with the sea in mind: a small convoy of hedgerows gives way to coastal light as the van threads the A48 toward Swansea Bay. At Mumbles the air tastes of salt and fried fish; the pier and lighthouse stand like practical landmarks, while the boardwalk hums with easy conversation and ice-cream queues.

Check Worms Head tide times
Worms Head is reachable only at low tide—confirm tide windows with your guide to avoid being cut off.
