Start of the Gower/Langland Bay

Earlier in the week we took a hike down to the Gower. The Gower is the broad name for the stretch of coastline along Southern Wales, starting just East of Swansea and running all the way to Llangenith. The Gower is known for its dramatic landscape of towering cliffs, sandy bays, and wild surf. There is a path that runs along the duration of the coastline, right on the edge of the cliffs, which offers some spectacular views. We started at the closest bay on he Gower, Langaland, and walked back out towards the Mumbles lighthouse. We got lucky and caught some sun, which led to some great lighting, even for iPhone cameras.

Looking at the big boulder called the Tor at Rotherslade.

Looking back at Langland from the coastal path headed East. Can see some surfers out.
