Log Cabins & Lodges in Gower

Gower was the UK’s very first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With cliffs and forests ringed by sparkling beaches, the region is a huge draw for walkers, sunbathers, surfers and anyone else who loves the great outdoors. Fancy staying in the heart of Gower’s most beautiful landscapes? Search for a cabin in the south or west of the peninsular – and prepare to have your mind blown! Prefer to stay somewhere where all the amenities are on your doorstep? The city of Swansea is just a short drive from Gower and has everything you could wish for a comfortable and entertaining holiday.

Cabins in and around Gower mostly come with 1-3 bedrooms and more than ample living and cooking areas. They are just the tonic for couples or singles seeking to get away from the crowds. Most lodges in Gower are situated in rural locations, and within seconds you can find yourself on a beautiful public footpath leading through the peninsula’s delightful countryside. So, set your clocks to ‘Gower time’, and enjoy the leisurely pace of Welsh countryside living!

Gower is not just about its beaches, with so many outdoor adventures awaiting you inland. You can ride horses on the moorland, rock-climb and abseil on the cliffs, or learn survival skills in the forests, while bikers can enjoy swathes of trails along Rhossili Down and Cefn Bryn common.

In journalistic lists of the world’s finest beaches, you can often find Rhossili Bay. This 5-kilometre stretch of golden sand featuring soaring cliffs has Worm’s Head at one end and pristine dunes at the other and is dramatically beautiful. For family beach holidays, the first two beaches you hit on the way out of Mumbles are just perfect. With all the amenities for a comfortable day, they also boast Blue Flag and Seaside Awards.

For a relatively small area, there are so many trails to explore on Gower. The Wales Coast Path runs in parallel with the coast past towering cliffs and cute coves and saltmarshes. If you would like to walk inland, the Gower Way cuts for over 35 kilometres right through the middle. Perhaps the best thing about the walks in Gower, us that many have a warm and cosy pub at the end!

Worm's Head, a rocky promontory that snakes out into Rhossili Bay, is Gower’s most iconic sight. Take a lovely stroll out to Worm's Head on a sunny day but do keep in mind that it is only accessible for two hours either side of low tide!

Surfing is a big deal at Gower, with some of the country’s best breaks. The Welsh Surfing Federation surf school at Llangennith is the top place for renting kit and taking lessons, where the waves suit both beginners and seasoned surfers.

Gower Coast Adventures offer a whole new way to explore Gower – from a 10-metre purpose-built rigid-hulled inflatable boat! You will be taken on a memorable journey around the coast of the Mumbles, Three Cliffs and Worm's Head.

Doctor Who geeks are in for a treat at Gower – the landscapes of Worm’s Head at Rhossili Bay were heavily featured in the Doctor Who episode ‘New Earth’, and the village of Rhossili was also a set for the spin-off series Torchwood!

Dryad Bushcraft teaches you how to survive if you found yourself stranded in the great outdoors. In his bushcraft course held on Gower, you will learn how to cook up wilderness gourmet food, try your hand at woodcraft and learn the age-old living skills of our ancestors.

Lambs roam free on Gower and the local fauna makes for delicious, award-winning meat. Order a delectable lamb dish at The Britannia Inn, in Llanmadoc. Or head to Oxwich Bay’s Beach House for beautifully presented dishes served with locally foraged ingredients such as wild garlic and laverbread. Delicious!

Gower is home to the oldest buried human remains in Britain, dating back over 30,000 years. Today, the uplands are dotted with Neolithic remains, with the most significant being a burial chamber topped by the 25-ton Arthur's Stone. Head to the Gower Heritage Centre where you can learn more about the ancient culture of the peninsula and be pointed towards the most interesting sites.
