The Mumbles

A little trip back into the real world today and the edge of Swansea, well gotta have some of that famous ice cream before going home !

Welcome to cosy, cosmopolitan Mumbles. One of Dylan Thomas’ many stamping grounds and home to some world class ice cream too.

Mumbles marks the beginning of the Gower Peninsula’s coastline. It’s a well-loved area of Swansea, and when you go there, it’s clear to see why!

They say you learn something new every day, so why not learn a few things when you visit Mumbles? Surround yourself in the history and tradition that this area is steeped with. There’s a Lighthouse built in 1974, and a Victorian Pier. Oystermouth Castle is also well worth a visit, sitting on a hilltop with fabulous views overlooking the sea.

If you feel the urge for a bit of retail therapy, Mumbles will suit perfectly. There’s a range of high end shops, independent boutiques and quirky galleries, you can really spoil yourself when you visit Mumbles! Designer labels, handmade crafts or even surfing gear, you’ll find it all here.
