The Gower Peninsula is arguably one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and no, i'm not Welsh!

Hi Martin,you won,t be dissappointed with any of the beaches on the gower.
We usually go with the club to Bank Farm on Port Enyon,excellent sea views.Rhossili has the best beach on the whole of the gower,but its quite a steep walk down to it.
If it rains,plenty to do in nearby Swansea and other local places.

you mean when it rains 
If the weather is bad you have the mumbles pier which will keeep you occupied for a while but will cost money

In swansea you have the LC2 which is a refurbished leisure centre (no not a sheep in a new dress) with swimming pool, climbing wall etc

Absolutely - 'twas awarded the status of 'Britain's first area of outstanding natural beauty' - and rightly so!

We take the caravan there several times each year.
Our touring site preference is the Caravan Club's site at Pont-y-cob road, Gowerton, SA4 3QP. Tel: 01792 873050.
Non-members welcome by advance booking.

It's a beautiful site, with easy access from the M4, and good local amenities.
Swansea itself is easily accessed - we use the excellent Park & Ride service. It's just £2.20 all-in, for secure parking' plus 2 adults and 2 children return bus rides into the city centre.

In fact, perfect for exploring Gower with it's stunning beaches and scenery, and for all of West Wales too.
You'll not be disappointed here!

I can remember going there a few times as a child....all i remember about it was, it was always wet!

I've also stayed at the Caravan Club site in Gowerton. The Gower is superb!!

Also just down the road is Pembrey Country park which again is superb.

My sentiments exactly Steve.
Caravan Club sites' standards are high, and prices can be on the steepish side too.

BUT, no 'chav-types' with out-of-control kids.
Suits us down to the ground mate - especially if it's on Gower too!

as Debs said in another post, "there's lovely foyou..." or similar

Dad took us there as a nipper, a special place indeed, visit "the worms head" and that in credible beach with the view accross the estuary. Often the R.A.F. fly past on a practice bombing run....

He was an ok cricket player but wasn't England captain material

I also forgot plantasia

I also forgot plantasia

Yep, and there's LC2, The Mumbles, and even a gentle stroll around this fair city.

Plus Wales' largest indoor market, which is crammed full of the finest local Gower produce.
Mrs Sethsmate always buys some laver bread there for our breakfast. Brilliant when cooked in bacon fat, (and I reckon), the ultimate Gower delicacy!
Starvin Jacks' stall does excellent value food too - lovely hot roast turkey baguettes with stuffing and cranberry - mmmmm!
