The Location

The Gower Peninsula was designated as the UK’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty back in 1956, and we’re glad to say it’s still the nation’s favourite – as ‘Which?’ readers voted it the best aonb in Wales in October 2020!

The Gower Peninsula is a rich and varied environment which is as ecologically diverse as it is beautiful – from open, wild moors and dramatic limestone cliffs to golden, sandy beaches. Gower is a geological goldmine with inspiring landscapes and a captivating coastline.

Port Eynon is the most southerly point on Gower and is thought to be named after an Eleventh Century Welsh Prince, Eynon. It is believed that he built Port Eynon castle which has disappeared over the years. Once there was a booming trade in Oyster fishing (the remains of the Oyster Pools and the old harbour wall can be seen at low tide), limestone quarrying, lobstering and crabbing, but as with many little ports also came reports of smuggling.

Port Eynon village is an ideal base for beach lovers, walkers, families and groups. The Ship Inn and Smuggler’s Haunt are seconds away from The Bower Cottage. A one minute stroll takes you to the award winning glorious beach, sand dunes and stunning cliff walks with beautiful views.
