Swansea Bay is one of the UK's premier coastal destinations. Explore the vibrant Waterfront City of Swansea, home to the National Waterfront Museum and the LC leisure complex, the Victorian seaside resort of Mumbles, and the spectacular Gower Peninsula, the UK's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Gower lies to the west of the city and is served by the 'Gower Explorer' network of bus services to Rhossili (where you can enjoy the popular view of Worm's Head), Port Eynon, Oxwich, Horton and Llangennith. A useful link is also provided between North Gower (Llangennith / Llanmadoc) and South Gower (Horton / Port Eynon) with connections at Scurlage and Cilibion to and from Swansea. Stunning coastal and country walks are so much easier when you don't have to worry about parking and traffic.
