Carmarthen Bay and Gower is one of the most beautiful areas, not only in Wales but in the whole of the United Kingdom. A land of Cliffs, Golden Beaches, Rivers and Streams, Vikings, Romans, Druids, Celts, Merlin, Arthur, Woodland, Castles and Dragons, Fire and Water, Mists, Winds, Rain, Sun, Magic, Mystery, Poetry, Dylan Thomas and Secret Places still waiting to be found.

There are so many ways to enjoy yourself, be it walking, eating, drinking, singing, climbing, canoeing, cycling, horse riding, bird watching, bowls, surfing, caving, wind surfing, para-gliding, coarse fishing, sea fishing, archery, land sailing, kite surfing, paint balling, tennis, golf, rugby, kite flying, snow boarding, skiing, photography, barbecues on the beach, rock pooling, splashing and paddling or just sitting..................


There are events galore like rugby, horse racing, motor sports, exhibitions, bird centres and then there are the legends and mystery through the mists of time - if you care to look and use your imagination.

Look into the history that permeates this whole area from the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman, Medieval and Post Medieval.

Tombs, Standing stones, Caves, Churches by streams or on the hills, Chapels, Battlefields, Canals, Steam engines, Castles on their rocky cliffs, and Roman Forts still guarding the coasts.

First populated by the Iberians, then the Celts, invaded by the Romans, some Vikings and Saxons, then the Irish Celts to develop into the South Welsh with its own language. At this time Kidwelly, Carnwyllion (Llanelli area) and Gower were one - the hundred of Eginog.

Five rivers flow into Carmarthen Bay, the Llwchwr, the Lliedi, the Tywi, the Gwendraeth and the Taf and their valleys lead to a hinterland of more exceptional beauty. Some if it is tamed into beautiful gardens - Carmarthenshire is the Garden of Wales.

The Gower is a designated Area of Natural Beauty and has a huge diversity of natural history combining nearly all the habitats that can be found in Wales.

Carmarthen Bay also has a varied set of habitats including salt marshes, fresh water marshes, pine forests, sand dunes, coastal commons, oak woods and other habitats creating homes for a vast array of flora and fauna.

Soul scenery with room to breathe and the space to enjoy, a place to savour whatever the weather - a special place to relax in and play in whatever your age, by yourself or with friends and family.

It is for the young, teenagers, families, seniors, couples and singles of all ages, backpackers, independent people, adrenalin junkies, groups, foodies or just for a total relaxation……………..
