NEW/MODIFIED ROUTES - The Islands, Sandy Beaches and Castles of Gower coast

To see other attendees on the trip, please check the following LINK

For 11 years Outdooraholics have run our ever popular trip to the Gower 3 to 4 times a year. Many members have done the trip 3 times so we now have modified and new routes, so you can discover more of the Gower.

Dive into the rugged beauty and remoteness of the Gower peninsula with miles of diverse coastline to explore. Designated the UK’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty back in 1956, Gower’s protected landscape has thankfully changed little ever since.

We’ve lined up three truly world class hikes that you can enjoy without having to leave the UK, breath taking and dramatic coastal hikes along some of the best beaches in Europe. Add to those a National Nature reserve, truly spectacular cliffs, Europe’s 3rd best beach and a ruined castle and we’re in for a memorable weekend.

Rhossili beach is consistently voted one of the TOP TEN BEACHES IN THE WORLD, let us show you why LINK
