Swansea, the city by the sea, birthplace of poet Dylan Thomas and Catherine Zeta Jones, and promenade which sweeps from the Maritime Quarter to the extensive garden lined promenade in Mumbles. 

Gower Peninsula, a unique combination of natural beauty and history, demonstrated in its rugged limestone cliffs and sandy coves, and spectacular coastal views.  Lunch stop at Rhossili overlooking Rhossili Beach and Worms Head and opportunity to stroll along the coastal path.

Maen Ceti, better known as Arthur's Stone, is spectacularly sited on a false crest on Cefn Bryn.  A chambered tomb dating to approximately 2500B.C. and of uncertain origin.  Its single massive capstone covers two chambers standing in the remains of a round cairn.

14th century Weobley Castle is particularly memorable for its dramatic location, perched on the northern windswept coast of the Gower Peninsula, overlooking Llanrhidian march and Llwchwr estuary.  The ruins still reveal an emphasis upon gracious living and domestic comfort, with defensive measures apparently of secondary consideration.

Times: Start 09:00/Return 17:00 approx from National Museum Cardiff.
