If you are coming down for the weekend, you may be interested in looking at the following links. They are a few ideas of how to spend the rest of your time….the Gower is famous for its excellent water sports including surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing and sailing. If you prefer dry land you can try abseiling, climbing, hand gliding or horse riding.
If however you are more like Charlie then there is pretty good shopping, restaurants and bars.
Whatever you plan to do it is worth bearing in mind it will be March and you will be in Wales therefore nothing short of a miracle will stop it raining.
