Visit Swansea Bay for fresh, delicious Gower produce and fine restaurant dining

Gower's fertile farmland and coastal waters support traditional food producers and family-run farms. Celebrated local produce includes uniquely-flavoured Llanrhidian salt-marsh lamb, Welsh Black Beef, locally harvested laverbread, fish and shellfish from local fishermen's boats, fruits and vegetables. And of course, we're famous for our cockles, hand-gathered from the sands of Gower since Roman times.

Get your hands on a locally produced feast at one of our regular farmers' markets, held throughout Swansea Bay and Gower. Or visit Swansea Market (open Monday to Saturday), a treasure trove of ingredients from local food producers.
