National Trust - Rhosili and South Gower Coast
Tourist attraction
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Absolutely stunning area to walk around in, with beautiful views of the Gower coastline. The path is easy to walk along, with a wide rocky gravel path and lots of grass spaces. It was dog friendly though note there are wild (albeit very tame and docile seeming) horses and sheep roaming. The Nation...

Joe's Ice Cream Parlour
Ice cream shop
πŸ‘πŸ‘ I absolutely love Joe's, and expected it to be ridiculously busy in St Helens (as always) but surprisingly it wasn't! The ice cream needs to comment, it's Joe's! The store has the line managed well, better than mumbles, which avoids chaos inside! I always have the raspberry crumble sundae!

πŸ‘πŸ‘ A bit of a trek to this treat of a beach but well worth it. We got there about a hour before the tides came in, it was an amazing experience to see the sea reclaim its space, had to keep moving back as the water kept covering the beach, kids were amazed and frankly so was IπŸ˜‚

Turtle Bay Swansea
Caribbean restaurant
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Really cool place in a great central location in Swansea. We had a 40min wait for our food but we were told that straight away and the staff were very good at keeping us updated and checking on us for drinks etc so it was absolutely fine. I had the Jerk Chicken Breast with spiced fries but one of my...

Rotherslade Bay
Tourist attraction
πŸ‘ Lovely Costal path views 🌿😊 It was an on and off sunny/grey day so we were able to find free street parking fine. There was a lifeguard on the beach which we thought was very good, especially given the windy weather. Just a couple of people down on the sand/in the water though. I can imagine it g...
