Best campsites for the Gower AONB
Here is our pick of the Alan Rogers Assessors, expert-recommended campsites for the Gower Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The Gower Peninsula in south Wales is 19 miles long, featuring vast sandy beaches, delicate grasslands, deciduous woodland, salt marsh and shifting dunes. Such is its natural beauty and international importance that it was the first AONB created in 1956. To boot, it also has three National Nature Reserves, five Special Areas of Conservation and numerous Sites of Special Scientific Interest. It’s even designated as a Heritage Coast as well.
Man has been here since Neolithic times, and prehistoric Iron Age and Bronze Age traces are still evident at the western end of the peninsula. In fact, it is listed in the Register of Landscapes of Outstanding Historic Interest in Wales.
The attractive village of Oxwich has quaint thatched cottages, the Tudor Oxwich Castle and a beautiful bay with a nature reserve. Most visitors are keen to see Rhossili and the Worm’s Head, the subject of countless photos and Insta posts.
