    WHAT IS THERE TO SEE AND DO LOCALLY ?




    P1014928smaller





    See website     http://www.gowernews.co.uk     for loads of information on Gower or see our other pages here with some other links)

    Stay at our cottages and stroll through Cwm Ivy Lane, almost opposite our quality cottages (Middle Cottage and Wagtails Apartment). Take a walk through Cwm Ivy National Trust Nature Reserve, Betty Church (NT) woodland, around several local SSSIs and the historic Whiteford Point Lighthouse (also sometimes spelt Whitford), Llanmadoc beach/Whitford Bay. 

Climb Llanmadoc Hill, with great views across Gower, and why not have a picnic or glass of wine at the summit within the concentric ringed boundaries, or on top of the ramparts of the Iron Age Fort (The Bulwork) - with deep ditches and high embankments. 

YOU ARE MOST WELCOME AT our quality self-catering Gower cottage accommodation, a cottage and an apartment, both being a 15-20 mins stroll to the beach and woods (down Cwm Ivy lane with incline) or dune laden peninsula, in the heart of the historic village of Llanmadoc, at the extreme end of  Britain's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.....the acclaimed Gower Peninsula. The position and location is just supreme if you want to get away from busy roads, and enjoy coastal/seaside bliss. Guests often tell us that it is the complete silence which hits them at night in bed - apart from the occasional Owl hoot, Cuckoo call, and maybe the distant sound of the sea-waves on stormy nights. The stars shine brightly on clear evenings over Llanmadoc Hill. This is that kind of place -spiritual /magic. To bring you back to reality, the crow of a village cockerel can be heard come sunrise (in fact anytime), as the Village comes to life come morning and the sheep come wandering around the village green and gardens, with their lambs in Feb-April. The spoilt and very friendly (but naughty) local village labrador dog patrols around 'his' village green, awaiting a spare morsel or pat on the head and is rarely dissappointed by the villagers or its visitors.  Llanmadoc is that kind of place! 

Sheep with their lambs, semi-wild North Gower marsh ponies, and cattle including Welsh Blacks roam the salt-marsh grazing on the sumptuous local sampphire grass and diverse wild marsh herbs. In "Siop y Bobl/Our Shop" - the local village shop in Llanmadoc, buy freshly laid fresh eggs, the local acclaimed butcher - Paul Tucker's extra thick bacon, home baking (such as Janet's lemon drizzle and coffee cake), Richard and Sue's home made Cornish Pasties (carried by foot from their own cottage to the shop on same morning!), Welsh goats cheeses, and other Welsh farm produce including salt-marsh lamb from local Landimore farmers Colin and Roland (see Gower Saltmarsh Lamb - as recently featured by Dr Neil Oliver on BBC's "Coast"). Taste locally caught fresh seabass (often caught fresh off south Gower by lure and line), or locally picked Mussels in local pub restaurants (or pick your own in season at Whiteford Lighthouse - only pick them in months with an "r"). Your hosts were given a kind gift of locally picked mussels from Whiteford Bay in October 2008 - and they were fantastic with cream, white wine and shallotts.
