What to expect
Expect a mix of coastal scenery and rural exploration. The morning centres on Mumbles' seaside charm—browsing independent shops, wandering the pier, and spotting local boats. At Three Cliffs Bay, you'll walk roughly 3 kilometres through varied terrain to reach the dramatic cliff formations; the pace is steady but undemanding. After lunch (at your own cost), the watermill offers hands-on insight into medieval milling. The final stretch reaches Rhossili's sweeping beach and Worms Head, a tidal island offering views across the Bristol Channel. Throughout, Andy shares the peninsula's geology, history and wildlife.
Good to know
Bring waterproof layers and sturdy footwear; weather can change rapidly. The 3km walk at Three Cliffs involves uneven ground. Lunch isn't included; pack provisions or eat en route. Entry to the heritage centre museum costs extra. Andy occasionally brings his dog; let the operator know if this matters.
