A fabulous expanse of beach with plenty of space to keep your social distance! It's clean too. Good parking - OK it's £5 even for a short stay, but worth it - free out of season.

It's the closest thing to Heaven most of us will ever get - spectacular beaches, two stunning ridge walks, along Rhossili Down, the other on Cefn Bryn, woodland, streams, 3 microbreweries, fantastic bars and restaurants, and did I mention the beaches - Three Cliffs is like nowhere else in the world. Everywhere there are views that will leave you speechless. I', a lucky bastard - I live here.

If you park at the Gower heritage center ( a small parking fee) , they will give you a small map for a lovely walk to the beach. Passing through a woodlands, pass a castle ruins on the jills with beautiful veiws and do wn theough the sand dunes , through a small river or over stepping stones onto a beautiful beach with transparent water. In summer it feels like youre abroad.

Lovely sandy beach. Spacious but not too big. Safe to swim in marked zone. Lifeguards on duty. We had no problem parking, just remember to take change for the ticket meter, and be aware if you have small kids that there is a road to cross between car park and beach. Toilet facilities and shop selling refreshments on site. Highly recommended for a simple enjoyable family beach day.

The new Dylan’s at Cwmdonkin cafe opened this week. Pleased to be in the many customers on the first day. Very friendly owners who have lived locally for years. Good selection of cakes including gluten free and 2 x vegan cakes (these sold out quickly). Usual coffee selection but includes 3 different plant milks. Locally made ice cream with a dairy free one coming soon. Vegan ice lollies.
10. Egypt Centre

Reviewed By sosbanfach - Llanelli, United Kingdom
We spent a damp Saturday afternoon with our 5 year old granddaughter in the Egypt Centre at Swansea University. What a fascinating place to visit, staffed with very knowledgeable volunteer guides whose enthusiasm was infectious. Although consisting effectively of only two rooms, the exhibits and activities were displayed cleverly to draw you in and take you through the contrasting themes of 'Death' and 'Life' in ancient Egypt. Our granddaughter was in her element and took a worryingly wrapt interest in the mummification presentation! And it's all free!
