Camper Enjoying Campfire
A chorus of birdsong wakes you at dawn. Fried eggs on the Trangia cooker. A morning dip in a local pond... Camping is a great way of going back to basic, and is probably the cheapest way to holiday

    Rhossili beach is in the Gower.

    This beach is beautiful and has some secluded coves which you can have all to yourself if you walk further down it.

    It is excellent for fishing and on the rocks you can find many different sea foods to eat.

    The beach, just like much of the Gower is often often un crowded even during peak season so I would reccommend it over Cornwall any day. It is also easier to get to than Cornwall as it is serviced by a major motorway.

    Pitton cross is a really peaceful campsite that overlooks the beach. It doesn't have a great deal of facilities and is more of of a back to basics campsite but for the view alone and the seclusion it is well worth a visit.

    The nearest pub is Worms Head hotel. This has some nice traditional pub food and some good local ales on tap.

    On the site we got a tipi from tipi rent, it was the envy of the whole site and provided a very relaxing/romantic atmosphere for my wife and I.

    Would reccommend the whole experience and would return again this summer.

    The campsite is Pitton cross (15 miles or so from Swansea.)

    Posted by PtHodge 21 July 2007

    Bryngolau old game keeper's cottage, Penrice Estate, Gower: this is home to the most amazing green outdoor activity company.

    They have views of Oxwich Bay and they are just down the road from Three Cliffs Bay too. Their fun-loving staff will show you the most remote romantic parts of the Gower, South Wales.

    Discover wild ponies, castles, sunsets etc and enjoy bushcrafting, sailing, surfing, beach art etc with internetoutdoors.

    They also know all the best places to stay e.g Nicholston Farm overlooking Oxwich Beach, with its superb cafe and great woods or if you really want to push the boat out go and spot otters and drink pimms at Fairyhill Hotel.
