Calling all Mini-Adventurers – Discover our Pirate Past!


C 15th February 2019

It’s February Half-Term already and time for a break after a long winter.  Your mini-adventurers will be raring to go and do some serious discovering after being cooped up all winter!

Here’s our top 5 ideas on how to have a half-term adventure in Swansea Bay!

 

Culver Hole

  1. Take the Smugglers’ Route: Take your pirate horde on a mini tour of clandestine coves and hideaways.  Port Eynon’s ruined Salthouse was a renowned Smugglers HQ and quirky Culver Hole hid contraband in secret tunnels.

  1. Make a Splash: Every pirate is going to end up in the water at some point – so make sure yours is prepared!  Head to the LC and Wales National Pool for swim practice and water-fun.
