Gower’s earliest castles were constructs of earth and timber, built upon the steepest aspects of hills and coastal promontories. There, the natural geogaphy of the land often provided as much of a defence to villages as the fortifications themselves.
Most remains of Gower’s Iron Age Hillforts date from around the 6th Century A.D. and evidence of their quite large scale can still be easily traced in the numerous mounds and ditches on many of the peninsula’s larger hilltops.

A very friendly campsite with very friendly staff and good facilities. The pitches are a very generous size and plenty of space between everyone.
A cafe which is open from breakfast until evening.
It also has a good shop/mini supermarket. Mobile signal as always in the Gower is unreliable.

Super friendly, clean and a well appointed campsite. We were initially disappointed we could not get in at the more well known campsite on the beach. Well what a happy little accident we didn't. Dog friendly meaning we will be back with the dog next summer. Electric hook-up was cheaper than other places without electric. The café on site was cheaper than other equivalent sites and the shop was well appointed and did not take advantage of the captive audience.
Cute 10min drive to the beach, great waves and no commercialisation on the beach, reasonable car park prices for the day.
