Stepping Stones Three Cliffs Bay

• The small village of Parkmill is at the "Gateway to Gower'.  In Spring this pretty valley is overrun with bluebells and wild garlic flowers, in Summer the dappled shade of the pretty woodland comes to life.  The autumn brings stunning colours to the trees and empty beaches.  The sounds of the sea can be heard on stormy winter nights.  This cottage truly is an all year destination. 

• This modern well-equipped cottage was built with an eye to practicality.  Underfloor heating and tiled floors are easy care and a welcome touch on the ground floor and upstairs bedrooms are warm and cozy.

• The kitchen area is well equipped with hob, full oven and microwave.  There is a stowaway dining table should you require it.  The shower room is on the ground floor. 

• There is no private outside space but the cottage is less than a minute from the woods and river walk, dog-friendly all year round.

Parc Le Breos

Three Cliffs Bay

• Three Cliffs is one of Gowers' most picturesque beaches, and it's not hard to see why. The valley leading down to the sea complete with castle, the salt marshes and the sand dunes, and the three cliffs themselves makes this destination unique. The cliffs are popular with climbers, and what a location, you can actually walk underneath the cliffs through an archway. There are stepping stones to cross the river on the Penmaen side of the bay (west), but watch the tide to get back. The beach has a seasonal lifeguard station, please take care with children and dogs.

The station has also witnessed tragedy with 18 lifeboat crew losing their lives saving others at sea. A humbling place to visit! The new lifeboat station completed in 2014 sits alongside the original building, now preserved in remembrance of all those who lost their lives at sea.

Rhossili Beach and Worms Head

If the tide is out you will even see the bones of The Helvicta wreck reaching out through the sands.  
• Restored by your lunch take the challenging walk to the highest point on Gower and a descent onto one of the most iconic beaches in Wales. Burial chambers, radar stations and shipwrecks are only some of the highlights you will pass along the way.   Watch the surfers ride the waves.  If you fancy a lesson head over to Llangenith and Ask PJ at his Surf Shop, he will fit you out with all you need to get up and riding.
