Day 5 – Sunshine & Clifftops

At last, the sun came out—and with it, our spirits lifted. After yesterday’s downpour, waking up to golden morning light felt like a gift. We wasted no time and headed out early for a walk near Three Cliffs Bay, one of the Gower Peninsula’s most iconic spots. The combination of rugged limestone cliffs, winding river, and soft sandy beach makes for a truly magical scene, especially when bathed in morning light. Awen and Nessy were in their element, running freely across the open landscape, tails wagging and paws sandy.

Later in the day, we drove over to Mumbles, a charming seaside village just outside Swansea. We strolled along the pier, watched locals fish from the railings, and admired the traditional arcades and old lifeboat station. It’s one of those places that feels like summer holidays from another era—simple, relaxed, timeless. We stopped for a lovely lunch, enjoying fresh seafood while the dogs napped under the table, completely content.

In the afternoon, we ventured to Rhossili, home to some of the most breathtaking coastal views in the UK. From the high cliffs, we looked out over Worm’s Head and the vast sweep of Rhossili Bay, the waves catching the late sun like scattered jewels. Our walk along the clifftop path was peaceful and dramatic all at once—wind in our faces, ocean below, and the freedom of wide open space.

We returned to our cabin in Landimore as the sky began to turn gold. The evening was spent on the deck, watching the marshes breathe in the fading light. Ponies wandered in the distance, the tide moved quietly, and the world seemed to slow down just enough for us to take it all in.Les mer
