Swansea
Swansea’s main draw is its alluring five-mile sweeping views of the Swansea Bay. While many find the city less than attractive for its post-World War II remodel, Swansea still boasts much to see and do, a perfect launching point for exploring Wales by car.
Day Trips/Events in Swansea
Heading out of Swansea, you’ll discover a number of little fishing villages, offering the charm the city tends to lack. The town of Oystermouth is one such find. Its claim to fame comes with a Castle. At one point in time it was the stronghold of Norma Lords of Gower. Drive to the southern end of Swansea Bay and you will discover the seaside resort called the Mumbles. Its claim to fame actually comes by way of the famous actress Catherine Zeta Jones having a home nearby.
Throughout summer, Swansea is invaded by seekers of festivals and events. The Swansea By Summer Festival and the Outdoor Theatres draw in crowds in warmer months. When the seasons change for spring, Swansea hosts the Clyne in Bloom. The event sees Swansea’s award winning Rhododendrons and Azaleas in full bloom.
Eating Out in Swansea
Dining out in Swansea predictably focuses on the nearby sea. Fresh seafood finds a home at many of the restaurants in town. Those eateries offer dinner and usually a sea view with no extra charge. Not in the mood for fish? Swansea’s cuisines extend to Italian, Spanish, Austrian, French, and Thai.
Things to see/do in Swansea
The Maritime Quarter still holds little clues into Swansea’s previous appearance. Visitors are free to wander through this area, admiring the Georgian and Victorian charms. Wedged in between all that is modern, Swansea manages to muster up a few ruins for viewing in its 14th century ruined castle. The city also shares its history and accomplishments at its many museums. The National Waterfront Museum chronicles the history of Welsh industry and innovations. A more cultural outing comes at the Dylan Thomas Centre where exhibitions pay tribute to the poet’s life and work. Moments of amazement and wonder await at Plantasia. The botanical exhibit holds hundreds of species of plants, insects, birds, and even a few monkeys for good measure. The long seafront in town is its own attraction for many.
