Swansea & The Mumbles

 

The Waterfront City

 

Swansea is a coastal city and the second-largest city of Wales.

 

It forms a principal area, officially known as the City and County of Swansea.

 

Located along Swansea Bay in southwest Wales, with the principal area covering the Gower Peninsula, it is part of the Swansea Bay region.

 

Swansea’s a great place for foodies . All appetites are catered for by a range of big name brands, independent eateries and boutique bistros.

 

Visit the big names on the High St at the Quadrant shopping centre.

 

Swansea Market

The original market was established in 1897, under the largest structure of glass and wrought iron in the UK.

 

Devastated by World War II, along with much of Swansea City Centre, Swansea Indoor Market was rebuilt and remains the largest of its kind in Wales with over 100 stalls.

 

Here you can sample many of the delicacies of the area, including cockles and laverbread, the world-renowned dish made from seaweed collected on the shores of north Gower.

 

Mumbles

Mumbles is a vibrant seaside village. You’ll find over 120 shops, restaurants and pubs hugging the west side of Swansea Bay.

 

A rich source of great seafood, much of the local produce finds itself being served in the finest establishments of London and Paris - so try it here at the restaurants serving seafood caught locally.

 

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!

 

Surround yourself in the history and tradition that this area is steeped with. There’s a Lighthouse built in 1794, and a Victorian Pier.
