World class beaches and coast

With car hire organised, why not start with Clyne Gardens on Mumbles Road near Westcross? Southwest of the centre, these gardens feature colourful rhododendrons (especially in May), coastal views and an ornate Japanese bridge. It is easy to get around with car hire to discover or revisit numerous sandy beaches and rocky coves - past Mumbles, the beach at Rhossili Bay is classified as one of the best in Britain and the ninth best in the world (source: Trip Advisor). Boasting three miles of sand, it is ideal for surfing in the Atlantic swell. Nearby Three Cliffs Bay also has spectacular views, while picturesque surrounding villages nestle in the diverse countryside, inviting the passing visitor.
