The Gower Peninsula, Swansea: A Perfect Destination for Love and Romance!
Knight's engagement on Three Cliffs Bay
GOWER is such as special place for many different reasons: for some, it’s the awesome waves at Gower’s spectacular beaches, such as Langland, Caswell and Rhossili, which attract surfers and other water sport enthusiasts from far and wide; for others it’s the peaceful rural atmosphere and clean sea-air when out for a stroll on the cliffs at Pennard or on top of Cefn Bryn. However, for Katie and Daniel, a young couple from Swansea, Gower is special because in January 2010, Daniel proposed to Katie at one of Gower’s most iconic natural beauty spots - Three Cliffs Bay. Daniel didn’t cut any corners in his bid to woo his hoped-for future bride; having never ridden a horse, Daniel arrived at Three Cliffs Bay on horseback dressed in knights attire, to the complete surprise of his girlfriend Katie! The atmosphere must have been one of pure romantic joy as Daniel fell to one knee and proposed. Unsurprisingly, his romantic gesture was happily received by Katie in spite of Daniel brandishing a completely harmless, but realistic looking knight's sword!
Horse riding on the Gower Peninsula
Horse riding is a common pastime on Gower, and for those wishing to give it a try there are stables located around Gower who can provide all you need. Clyne Farm, which is set within Clyne Farm Activity Centre and its surrounding 80 acres of wood land and pasture, is an ideal venue for all levels of riding expertise. Further west and towards Rhossili is Pilton Moor Stables and Livery who can offer a variety of livery options, including lessons and horse B&B.

Gower's most romantic location
It’s hard to pin-down the most romantic location on Gower. There are so many beautiful places with some of the most fantastic scenery within the UK. Worms Head at Rhossili was voted “the most romantic place to see a sunset in the UK” by readers of Country Living Magazine. It’s certainly true, many have spent an evening on the beach at Llangennith and Rhossili, kept warm by a campfire whilst watching the sun set - it’s a truly spectacular sight! Equally however, there are many other places on Gower, as Daniel and Katie have experienced, which provide the perfect setting for a special romantic occasion. The only sure way to discover for yourself is to come and visit Gower!
