Budding botanists are always wanting to discover new places with a variety of habitats and new flora and fauna to study. As one of only 5 places to be awarded an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Wales and the only coastal National park in the country, the Gower Peninsula providing a haven for some of the most beautiful and richest variety of flora and fauna is one of the country’s favourites.

Bounded by Loughor Estuary to the North and Swansea Bay to the East and surrounded by the Bristol Sea and Atlantic Ocean there are 70 square miles of untouched and unspoilt landscapes. A wide range of habitats are available providing superb opportunities for botanists and birdwatchers alike. From the dramatic limestone cliffs and soft sandy beaches on the shore, the woodland, grassland and heathland further inland and salt and fresh water marshland and nature reserves on the northern coast.

The National Trust partly owns and preserves the area and have been very successful in keeping it beautiful and unspoilt. Wild flowers and historical sites dot the landscape amongst menhirs, barrows and dolmens. With stunning scenic walks and pretty villages to potter in this is the perfect place to unwind and get back to nature.

The area is steeped in mythical legend and the bounty of archaeological sites, medieval castles, churches and Iron Age forts provide many things to do in the surrounding area. There are many of the most popular places to visit in Wales nearby including the Gower Heritage Centre, a rural life museum that documents and brings to live the age old traditions of the communities of the region and the award winning Wildfowl and Wetlands Centre.

The National Botanic Garden of Wales one of the most famous gardens to visit in the surrounding area. Celebrating its 10th anniversary it has a collection of over 100,000 different plants a beautiful 568 acre Regency park, the longest herbaceous border in Europe and is an absolute must for any keen botany enthusiasts visiting the area.
