Eating out.
Invariably local pubs in the area provide a range of bar meals and snacks,
Further afield in Swansea you will find a wide variety of  restaurants to suit all tastes and pockets.

Shopping
Swansea being a regional shopping centre and Wales’s second city  offers a mix of high street outlets, local shops, a large indoor market the major supermarkets  as well as cinemas and  nite spots.

The Swansea marina and the recently opened National Waterfront Museum offer a glimpse into Swansea’s past and present and while you are there hop on the road train for a ride along the huge curve of Swansea Bay as far as Mumbles, very much the seaside village , with boats, shopping, beaches, entertainment and a Victorian Pier.

Why not visit some of Swansea’s parks and gardens, Singleton with its hot houses and botanical gardens, Cwmdonkin a favourite haunt of Dylan Thomas, or Clyne with its huge collection of Rhododendrons and Azalias; spectacular in May and the tallest Magnolia in the UK, all well worth a visit.

The peninsula itself being Britain’s First Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is very much a mix of small farms, open common and moorland, sand dunes and rugged limestone sea cliffs, criss - crossed by ancient footpaths and country lanes.  Small rural villages tuck into the hilly landscape, others enjoy the shelter offered by headlands and places like Rhossili brave an exposed cliff top position  enduring the  variable Atlantic weather.

Walk on the sea bed at low tide, yes due to the exceptionally high tidal range in the Bristol Channel ( second highest in the world) the tide goes out a long way exposing many acres of ‘seabed’ and giving access to a number of coastal islets, Mumbles Head, Worms Head and Burry Holmes.

Do take care when exploring these areas and DO CHECK THE TIDE TIMES BEFORE YOU VENTURE ONTO THE CAUSEWAYS.
