Gower Peninsula in the southwest of Wales was the first place in the UK to be named an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and for a good reason. The region is simply breathtaking, with rugged cliffs, lush woodlands, and pristine beaches perfectly blending into a place that looks like a painting that is loved by outdoor enthusiasts and watersports lovers. Gower is meant to be explored, whether by walking its many trails, listening to various birds singing, laying on its white-sand beaches, or surfing its waves. The region is famous for Three Cliffs Bay and Rhossili Beach, but it hosts some hidden gems such as Pobbles Bay or The Blue Pool. If you want to discover the region in all its beauty, consider a glamping experience in its scenic countryside. Keep reading to discover the best glamping spots in Gower, UK.
