Laura Kerslake, Wales Cultural Ambassador and Marketing Manager at Wales Cottage Holidays, has lived on the Gower Peninsula for most of her life and regularly explores its beaches, walking routes, villages and restaurants. Here are some of her favourite experiences and recommendations for visitors planning a Gower holiday. 

"You can't talk about the Gower Peninsula without mentioning its beaches. From wide sandy bays to hidden coves, there's a stretch of coastline to suit every kind of beach day. While summer is always popular, I love exploring Gower's beaches year-round. Winter brings quieter shores, dramatic scenery and plenty of surfers making the most of some of Wales' best waves. 

Beyond the beaches, Gower is a fantastic place to explore on foot, with everything from gentle woodland walks to spectacular cliff-top trails along the Gower Coast Path. And if you ask me, the best walks end with dinner and a drink at a wonderful Gower pub"
