The Gower Peninsula extends for 19 miles along the southern coast of Wales and is the UK’s original Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With tall rocky cliffs, relaxing sandy beaches, and lush green countryside, the Gower Peninsula is absolutely a beautiful place to visit, with plenty to do. The Wales Coast Path passes through the area, as do many other walking trails, and the region is packed with areas of archaeological importance, including caves, castles, and forts from the Iron Age. On the coast, visitors will find some of the best waves in the country for surfing, and the huge limestone cliffs beckon adventurous souls to jump from them into the sea.
