Swansea Bay

A city perfectly situated on the edge of a five-mile bay, Swansea is a vibrant, multi-cultural destination.

Birthplace and long-standing inspiration of poet Dylan Thomas, Swansea boasts award-winning parks and gardens, fantastic shopping, world class cultural and sporting facilities - including the Dylan Thomas Centre, the Wales National Pool, the 20,000 seat Liberty Stadium and Wales’ largest indoor market, where you can sample freshly-harvested cockles and laverbread. 

Do not miss a visit to the National Waterfront Museum in our award-winning Maritime Quarter. This £30 million attraction pushes the boundaries of technology in an interactive interpretation of Wales' industry and innovation in science, manufacturing and medicine. With high impact graphics and interactive opportunities throughout the displays, this is a must-see attraction!

Further along the bay is the beautiful Victorian seaside resort of Mumbles, where you can browse for local pottery and hand-carved lovespoons. 

And if golden sands and clear blue water are what you need, look no further than the stunning Gower Peninsula, Britain’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. From family-friendly sandy bays to secluded coves, award-winning beaches are plentiful. Do not miss the view from Worm’s Head at Rhossili Bay, reputedly the 9th most photographed sunset in the world!
