Itinerary
Day 1 Arrive in Llanmadoc/Llangennith and overnightArrive in Llanmadoc or Llangennith, two quaint villages. You will stay in one or the other depending on availability. Included is a transfer from Gowerton Train Station which is only 30 minutes away. Llanmadoc’s name is derived from St Madoc, a 6th century saint of Irish origin. The church here is the smallest on the Gower, dates from the 13th century and is dedicated to St Madoc. If you are staying in Llangennith it is nestled between the slopes of three hills; Llanmadoc Hill, Rhossili Down and Hardingsdown. Enjoy a dinner in the local pub tonight.
This is a very great relaxing place to stay. Tallizmand is a beautiful B&B with great accommodation. The rooms are spacious, clean and fresh with en suite bathrooms. The warm and friendly owners could not be more friendly. A packed lunch can be offered upon request but its best to ask for it the night before its needed. There is also a small café run by the local villagers from where you can buy a packed lunch.
Blas Gŵyr is a luxury boutique bed and breakfast located in the heart of the Gower seaside village of Llangennith. Surrounded by glorious Gower beaches and spectacular countryside this unique property stylishly combines the old and the new and is an ideal hideaway from the stresses and strain of the modern world. Opened in early spring 2009, Blas Gŵyr offers four individually designed superior doubles with contemporary ‘wet room’ en-suites. Llyrlys (Samphire) has a bath and a hand held shower. All rooms have private access and lead out onto a tranquil courtyard garden.
The sumptuous interiors of each of our rooms are accentuated by stylish contemporary Welsh weave fabrics from Melin Tregwynt. The colour scheme for each room has taken its inspiration from the local flora and fauna that feature in the landscape.
Situated in a characterful house in the centre of the village, within walking distance of the local pub. Pippa and Mike have run this house as a B&B for the last 23 years. The rooms here are colourful and quirky. Each of our guests will receive one of our delicious breakfast options, which includes either a traditional, vegetarian, vegan or continental breakfast. All of our food is locally sourced and all eggs are our freshly laid free range.
A short transfer (20 mins) brings you to Crofty, from where you walk beside the salt marshes on the Gower Coastal Path. Check out the ducks, geese and waders, plus wild ponies. Go through the village of Llanrhidian where you pass Weobley Castle. Its existing buildings date back to the 1300’s and if you would like to visit it is open to the public between April and October. It has spectacular views over the Llanridhian Marsh. Cross some stepping stones across a tidal marsh. However if the tide is high you can take an alternate route through Cheriton. Arrive in Llanmadoc, the church here is the smallest on the Gower, dates from the 13th century and is dedicated to St Madoc. If your accommodation is in Llangennith, walk along footpaths to this village from Llanmadoc. Enjoy a warm welcome from your B&B hosts and this evening enjoy a meal in the local pub.

Today combines inland and coastal walking at its best. Head out to Whiteford Point and through the nature reserve. This low-lying peninsula which is sandwiched between the sea and the estuary is one of the most remote spots on the Gower and you will walk through a variety of habitats including dunes, beach, salt marshes, mud flats and woodland. At low tide it is also possible to walk across the sand and rocks to Whiteford Point Lighthouse. Built in 1865 it marks a dangerous shoal lying just off the point. Also walk up to Llanmadoc Hill with wonderful sweeping views over the coastline, an iconic sight on this stunning peninsula.

This section of your walk is incredibly varied as you walk through dunes, forests, on cliff tops and along one of the Gower’s finest beaches. Pass Hill Tor, enjoying amazing views over Whiteford Sands and it’s Nature Reserve, which is over 3,000 acres and is home to rare species of butterfly and wildflowers in the early summer. Walk along the long sandy beach of Rhossili, one of the most spectacular beaches in Britain. Enjoy views over numerous ancient stones, evidence that there was a human presence on this peninsula in the Neolithic period (4,000—2400 BC). As you approach Rhossili you can see the iconic tidal headland at Worm’s Head, nicknamed Gower’s “Land’s End”. Before your transfer to either Port Eynon or Oxwich after your walk (20 mins) make sure you enjoy a local brew om the Worms Head Hotel terrace where there are terrific views to take in.
In Oxwich there is a small hotel or couple of B&B’s a short walk away, which are part of the same complex. The hotel itself faces Oxwich Bay and is in a fantastic location. Breakfast can be eaten overlooking the bay. Check in at the hotel and they will show you your B&B rooms.
The King Arthur is a delightful hotel that has a relaxed and friendly old pub atmosphere. It is family run hotel that consists of two bars, a restaurant, eighteen ensuite hotel rooms, a small barn conversion cottage, four self catering cottages.
Walk around the peninsula to Oxwich Point through woodland and continue onto the small hamlet of Oxwich, where the Methodist preacher John Wesley lived between 1762 and 1773. Don’t miss the view back over Oxwich Bay and its National Nature Reserve from Great Tor. (If you are staying here you will walk around the point at the end of the day, rather than at the beginning). Then head inland and on footpaths and small tracks to Horton, a very pretty little village in South Gower, set on a steep hill that stretches down to the beautiful beach.
If the accommodation in Oxwich is not avaiable you will stay in Reynoldson and a transfer will be provided to the beginning of the walk and at the end of the walk back to your accommodation.

After a fortifying breakfast a short transfer (10-15 mins) brings you to Three Cliffs Bay, one of the most breath-taking views on the whole of the Gower. From here walk through Pennard, passing its ruined castle and along the high cliff tops to Bishopstone Pill, passing around the exposed headland above Caswell Bay. Here is an Iron Age promontory fort and the rest of your trail into The Mumbles proceeds through rugged coastal scenery. At times you walk along the beach, but mostly the trail is on a pleasant surfaced path. Arrive in The Mumbles, your final destination. Walk along the seafront and into the town where there are many restaurants and pubs and where you can dine in celebration of your final night here in Wales. Hwyl Fawr or goodbye!
The Langland B&B offers boutique accommodation just a short walk away from the centre of the Mumbles. It is set in an Edwardian villa which has been completely refurbished. The rooms are all decorated with great care and have a variety of facilities including hairdryers, flat screen TV's, air conditioning etc. They also have hospitality trays with complimentary welsh hot chocolate, bottled water and Welsh Brew Tea.

Other Information
Is it for me?If you love walking by the sea and through areas of great natural beauty, staying in welcoming B&B’s and learning about fascinating history, including intriguing tales of piracy and smuggling this tour is a great choice for you. This 7 day/6 night walk is rated moderate, due to the fact that there will be some significant elevation gains and losses as you walk up to the cliffs and down to the beaches and up various hills.
Classic Routes | If you’re the active, outdoorsy type, who’s interested in taking on the great routes of the world or looking for a challenge, then our Classic Routes are for you. We’re talking the West Highland Way in Scotland, the world renown Tour Du Mont Blanc and Germany's Moselle Cycle Path, to name but a few!
Inn to Inn Walking | Walk from place-to-place changing accommodations each night. Generally staying in B&Bs, inns, and guesthouses.
Solo Travellers
This tour involves coastal walking, along dunes, beaches, through some wooded areas and on cliff tops and also offers some inland walking on footpaths and bridleways and small country lanes. Some of the walking will be quite flat but at other times there will be ups and downs as you will be walking from beaches up to cliff tops and vice versa, etc. The distances are not so far though, so this tour is walkable for those who have a good level of physical fitness. This tour is rated as moderate.
Please note that depending on where you spend the night, the distances at times may be more or less than listed every day. So please be prepared for longer or shorter walks when necessary.
The accommodations on this tour are mainly comfortable B&B’s and guest houses with the occasional small hotel. They are all warm and welcoming and some may be quite simple, yet always comfortable.
On the Gower Peninsula, accommodation choices can be limited, so at times there are choices of 2 places to stay and we organise the walks so that you can walk from or to either place. Because of this, the walk distances may vary, depending on where you are staying.
