The Gower is a beautiful area, where you can go on country walks, horse riding, outdoor activities, boat trips and general sightseeing. Mumbles is very popular. Tourists flock there, to visit the amazing beaches and go on boat rides and tours around there. The pier is also a very popular attraction there.
