Choose a city

Swansea may only be Wales' second city but don't assume that Cardiff is in any way superior. Swansea is quickly developing into a tourist destination in it's own right with new shops, restaurants and attractions opening every year. In no particular order, here are our suggestions for things to do in Swansea:

Swansea Castle

The ruins of Swansea Castle stands on a cliff top overlooking the majestic Weslh counrtyside. The castle may be a shadow of it's former self but the building is steeped in history and as such is well worth a visit. If you're lucky enough to be blessed with a sunny day, then there's no better place for a picnic in Swansea.

National Waterfront Museum

This National Waterfront Museum uses the latest multimedia technology to tell the story of Wales’s industrial heritage right up to the present day. Highlights include the Heroes Gallery which documents people who have contributed to Welsh life, from visionaries to sporting icons. The museum is open every day of the week from 10am-5pm and admission is free.

Oxwich Bay

Oxwich Bay on the Gower peninsular was recently voted Britain's Best Beach, and it's easy to see why. This truly beautiful beach boasts soft white sand that stretches for the full length of the long Bay. Overlooked by Penrice Castle, and surrounded by extensive dunelands and wooded areas, it's a wonderful place to visit.

Gower Coast Adventures

Gower Coast Adventures provide a breathtaking, interactive tour of the South Gower Coast aboard their purpose built boat. Experience a wealth of marine wildlife, and learn of Swansea's fascinating local history as you literally skim across the open water. For further details call 01792 297 157.
