The Gower and Swansea Bay

Burry Port to Kenfig

This stretch of the Path is an area of contrasts from the spectacular coastline of the Gower Peninsula with its award winning golden beaches to the vibrant seaside city of Swansea and the picturesque Victorian village of Mumbles.

Swansea

Join the Wales Coast Path here for an accessible flat walk from Swansea Marina around Swansea Bay to the lovely seaside village of Mumbles. Or head east through the ongoing redevelopment of the marina and university and along the disused Tennant Canal. To access the path, walk 0.9 miles / 1.5 kilometres straight out of Swansea station down the High Street, passing the remains of Swansea Castle on your left, continue down Wind Street, crossing over the busy A4067 and down Somerset Place to cross the River Tawe via the footbridge. Go straight ahead to join the Wales Coast Path at the pointed corner of the Prince of Wales Dock.
