Cliff Scenery Near Caswell, Gower
The Gower Peninsula has one of the finest limestonecoastlines in Britain. Mighty rock faces such as the
Great Tor (Tor Bay) dominate and punctuate many of
Gower's beaches and are prized amongst Welsh
rock climbers. They are also important to the local
wildlife, supporting both flora and nesting birdlife.

The northern coast of Gower is often overlooked but has a charm and beauty of its own. A great spot to watch the sun setting over the Burry Estuary is from the layby in Penclawdd - although there is room for perhaps only three cars, on many evenings you will find no company as you watch the glowing ember's of the day's lights dwindle before your very eyes:

During 2008, I will be undertaking a complete Swansea and Gower Coastline walk. You can check upon my progress on this project here.

Your photography is excellent and the scenes induce acute hiraeth. Gower is my first love and the ultimate destination of my ashes.

Thanks and keep up the good work.
Thanks - looking at your site that is a real compliment.
As one totally captivated by all that is GOWER, I have taken many photos of the same sites that you have....but so wonderful to see that so many others also appreciate this magical place as much as I do.
