Caswell Bay & the Gower

The first place in Britain to be called outstandingly beautiful.

The Gower Peninsula was designated the UK's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1956. Sixty-eight years on, the cliffs, coves and clifftop paths are as quietly remarkable as ever. The apartment puts you within a five-minute walk of one of the best beaches.
