Bank holiday walking weekend at the Gower coast in wales

Gower Peninsula Walking Weekend

Bank Holiday Weekend – 2nd & 3rd May

Join us for a relaxed and scenic walking weekend on the stunning Gower Peninsula in South Wales, the UK’s first designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Known for its dramatic cliffs, sweeping beaches and picturesque coastal villages, the Gower provides some of the most beautiful walking routes in the country.

This weekend is designed to combine great coastal walks, good company, and enjoyable food and drink stops along the way.

Participants are welcome to join for one day or both days, with the option of staying locally on the Saturday night to make the most of the full weekend.

However, if you are unable to arrive Friday, you are welcome to join us directly for the Saturday walk.
