More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the electric minivan and the Atlantic immediately presses its presence into the air — briny, sharp and endless. The Mumbles pier curls like an old promenade, fishing boats bobbing and gulls insisting on an audience. From here the tour threads west along lanes that rise and fall like the spine of the peninsula, each stop revealing a different face of Gower: sheltered coves, cliff-top ruins, and a tidal causeway that is part road, part dare.
