Surfing and The Gower

Just a 20 minute drive from the Terry Griffiths Snooker Academy you will find the world renowned Gower Peninsula.

The Gower really is a truly stunning area of the South Wales coast. Many have pointed to its resemblance to an island. As due homage to its beauty the Gower Peninsula has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for over 50 years.

Only 19 miles long, but with a stunning 34 miles of coastline and 70 bays and beaches no less, you've a choice of idyllic sandy beaches including Oxwich Bay (the biggest), and Rhossili (the longest). The view across Rhossili has been voted as one of the top 50 views in the world.

The majority of the North coast of Gower is actually salt marsh making for superb birdwatching on the coast of the Burry Inlet. A choice of ancient caves, castles and myth (see Arthur's Stone and Giants Grave) also give the area year round appeal to tourists.

The Gower is a world famous surf area. Beaches such as Llangennith and Caswell are ideal places to learn or improve your surfing skills. For a fantastic day out during your visit to the Terry Griffiths Snooker Academy, why not try out some of the best surfing and tuition the UK has to offer.
