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.

Great walks in the sand dunes with masses of wildflowers and the wetland walks v interesting. Also the walk to Nicholaston forest from the end of the beach was really nice with some nice woodland and great views over the bay. The beach is fine.

Usk in Bloom was formed in 1981 by a group of enthusiasts. Since then, its imaginative, ongoing planting and maintenance of trees, shrubs, seasonal bulbs and floral displays around the town, coupled with its environmental and educational work, and deep community involvement, have won many national and international awards. Thousands of visitors come to see its spectacle every year. The whole town is Usk in Bloom's showcase. Whether you explore the streets admiring the variety of neighbourhood gardens, stroll around the brilliance of the ever-changing displays and the natural beauty of the wildflower beds and areas, or sit and drink in the view, every corner has some spectacle or detail to admire and savour.

We chose the Hawk and archery experience. Spent the morning meeting and learning about four different types of birds of prey: a red kite, a barn owl, a harris hawk, and a falcon cross-breed. We were able to handle all except the falcon, having the birds fly to us for a food reward. Brilliant to get so close to these beautiful creatures. The falcon then demonstrated his impressive flying skills by flying the the lure. Then the birds were put away and after a lunch we spent a relaxed few hours trying to remember how to handle a bow and arrows, which we had both done before but not for some time. Ended up with a friendly competition. Lovely relaxed day to round off our holiday. We were well looked after by Roger and swapped lots of tales! COVID-19 safe as mostly outdoors and rubber gloves and sanitising gels etc. were supplied. We brough our own lunch but tea, biscuits, and cake were supplied. We would do this again.
