MUMBLES
A charming fishing village with heaps of history
OYSTERMOUTH CASTLE
Sitting majestically on the hill overlooking Mumbles village and offering stunning views across the bay. Set in its own beautiful grounds. The oldest part of the castle dates back to the 12th century. Within its gates is a fascinating story to be told. Opening hours April - September.
MUMBLES LIGHTHOUSE
Mumbles Lighthouse, completed in 1794, is a lighthouse located in Mumbles, near Swansea. The structure, which sits on the outer of two islands off Mumbles Head, is clearly visible from any point along the five mile sweep of Swansea. Take care as the tide comes in quickly if you venture onto this island.
MUMBLES HILL NATURE RESERVE
The 23 hectares of Mumbles Hill was declared a Local Nature Reserve (LNR) in 1991 to protect the site for both wildlife and people. Once you have made the climb you are rewarding with a magnificent view of the sweep of Swansea bay, a peep at the light house and the bays of Bracelet Bay and that of Limeslade. Home to over 200 plants and fungi and wild life. Defensive gunnery positions were built on the hill in World War II. Remnants of the 623rd Anti-Aircraft Battery gun emplacements and control bunker are still visible on the hill.
VERDI'S
Not to be missed. Huge choice of ice-creams but they serve good food and coffee too. The very best toasted tea-cake and I've tried them all! Situated along the promenade close to the the pier.

SINK A PINT IN THE PILOT
Previously Camra's Welsh pub of the year, The Pilot has its own on-site brewery, so it's worth checking the delights of the local ales.
