Swansea: Attractions and more...
The former fishing village of Mumbles has excellent restaurants and coffee shops, and is a great place to buy local souvenirs and enjoy the most spectacular view of Swansea Bay. The village, also known as Oystermouth, is home to the ruins of a 12th Century castle.
In addition to being a holiday resort, Swansea is also a commercial centre, with various hi-tech industries concentrated within the recently restructured dock areas.
Within the city centre, you can visit the ruins of a castle, the Marina, the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, Swansea Museum, the Dylan Thomas Centre, the Environmental Centre, and the Central Market, the largest covered market in Wales.
Wi Swansea, Wales' City by the Sea and birthplace of Dylan Thomas and Catherine Zeta Jones, is a lively and vibrant maritime city and a regional shopping centre. Close by, Victorian resort of Mumbles offers a fantastic assortment of attractions, such as a pier, traditional boutiques, craft shops and ice-cream parlours.
The Gower Peninsula extends West of Mumbles in a succession of stunning coastal
and rural sceneries. To the East, the 'Waterfall Country' at Afan and the Vale
of Neath is a haven for both walkers and bikers.
