From Cardiff: The Gower - Mumbles, Three Cliffs And Worms Head
Description
A small group guided tour from central Cardiff taking in the very best beaches and historical sites on the Gower peninsula, the first Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the UK, in the company of your driver guide, either Kate or Andy a fully qualified Green Badged Tourist Guide. First stop is Mumbles, we'll spend a short time in this little seaside holiday town, stretch your legs along the recently refurbished promenade and have a look in some of the independent shops. Three Cliffs Bay, the mainly flat walk (3km in total) to the beach across the stepping stones is sublime, the beach generally very empty of people, with gorgeous views over Three Cliffs, not forgetting the crumbling, but majestic, Pennard Castle. We'll then visit Gower Heritage Centre, working 12th century watermill and museum. Finally, Rhosilli and the famous Worms Head is a must with any trip to the Gower. Rhosilli Bay with its 3 miles of golden sand is often featured as the best beach in the UK. Swim is optional!

Itinerary
First stop is Mumbles, a fine village with a finer seafront, a Victorian Pier and two rather lovely adjacent beaches.
We'll walk to Three Cliff's Bay, crossing the stepping stones if tide out and enjoying the beach. A further walk to Pennard Castle can be included on a good day and with a willing group.
Lunch, a 12th century mill and a guided tour of the mill and associated buildings - there is so much to see! The displays describe life on the Gower through the ages.
An iconic must see when visiting the Gower. With its cafe overlooking Worms head and a world renowned 3 mile golden sand beach on one side and steep sea cliffs dropping to the ocean the other this is another spot for a walk and plenty of selfies.
The common begins our journey back to Cardiff but we will stop several times to take photos from the rising ground back towards the sea and perhaps visit some standing stones and burial mounds as we go.
