Welcome to cosy, cosmopolitan Mumbles, gateway to Gower and home to some world class ice cream.
Mumbles marks the beginning of the Gower Peninsula’s coastline. it’s a well-loved area of Swansea, with its cute cottages, independent shops and beautiful seafront location.
Surround yourself in the history and tradition that this area is steeped with. The lighthouse, built in 1794, Victorian Pier and Oystermouth Castle are well worth a visit, the castle sits on a hilltop with fabulous views overlooking the sea.
If you feel the urge for a bit of retail therapy, Mumbles will suit perfectly. There’s a range of high end shops, independent boutiques and quirky galleries, you can really spoil yourself! Designer labels, handmade crafts or even surfing gear, you’ll find it all here.
To pick up the perfect memento of your holiday in Mumbles, head to the Lovespoon Gallery and the Gower Gallery for beautiful one off pieces, much of which are inspired by the beautiful coastline of Gower with paintings of iconic views such as Langland, Three Cliffs, Caswell, Oxwich and Rhossili Bay.
No visit to Mumbles would be complete without sampling some of the areas local, “fresh off the boat”, seafood or some of the town’s world-class ice-cream.
