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.

Breakout Swansea is Wales’s premier escape game. Immersed in teams of 2-6, you have 60 minutes to find the clues, solve the puzzles and (hopefully) Escape!

Thoroughly enjoyed our experience completing the Mumbles Bunker room. Having been to other escape games previously, it definitely compares well (perhaps better than some others!) and the game itself was great. Not too difficult but enough of a challenge and something for everyone to help out with / complete. Our host was Ash and he did a great job as game-master. Would definitely go back to try some different rooms!

A lovely well kept park, the dog loves it ! Not far from the city centre. The only downside is finding a parking space nearby.
