Mumbles Head and Lighthouse

Highlight • Beach

The Mumbles is a very popular headland at the Western edge of Swansea Bay and marking the start of the Gower Peninsula.

Views of the lighthouse, a walk along the pier, legendary ice cream and a really enjoyable road climb from the sea-front up Mumbles Hill alongside (and also between!) the cliff-face on Mumbles Hill await.

A cafe in a converted railway station. Great place to start/end a ride with lots of outdoor space and seating so you can keep an eye on your bike! Our breakfast came quickly and the Portugese tarts were good!
