Christianity reached the Gower Peninsular in the early 5th century. At this time, Christians gathered for religious instruction and worship in open spaces.
The early Christian instructors of the area are believed to have been missionary monks from Gaul and when these great leaders of the faith died, they were buried in the locations in which they had taught. These sites would then become sacred grounds where further Christian burials would be held.

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.
