Premier Leisure Parks
Welcome to the Gower Peninsula, the UK’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This local guide covers the very best things to do, from beaches and walks to food, family days out and hidden gems.
Natural Attractions: Beaches, Cliffs & Coastal Walks
Gower is famed for its coastline, where golden beaches meet limestone cliffs and wild moorland. From iconic viewpoints to quiet stretches of sand, the peninsula offers some of the best scenery in the UK.
Rhossili Bay & Worm’s Head
Often named one of the best beaches in Europe, Rhossili Bay stretches for miles with golden sand and dramatic views. At low tide, you can walk across to Worm’s Head, a tidal island shaped like a sea serpent. Always check tide times before heading out.
