My Swansea supporting friends[enemies even!], I need some advice about this area. I'm staying in my son's caravan next week for a few days, any recommendations for decent Pubs and places to eat nearby? Best local beach? In fact any tips about the area would be appreciated, I'll do the same for you if you ever decide to sample the delights of the Rhondda Valleys! |  |

The Dolphin is a tidy pub as is the Greyhound (both in Llanrhidian), the Greyhound does some tidy grub and also real ales.
Was there earlier and can recommend the Steak & Ale pie & home made chips!
The King Arthur a little drive, it's in Reynoldston, some nice food there & I'm also hearing good things about the Railway in Penclawdd, you'll pass it on the bends on your way to Llanrhidian. [Post edited 16 Aug 2016 20:37]

Champers on High Street is a good night out. |  |

Best beach down that way is Llangennith. Brittania Inn in Llanmadoc is supposed to be nice. |  | | |

To get to the Brit, it's the first right after the Greyhound, it's a few miles, maybe 3-4 miles through country lanes but that is very nice too!
Good shout Humpty! | |

The Greyhound and Welcome to Town are both nice pubs, never been to the Dolphin. Don't think there is anywhere else within working distance.
Hillend, just past Llangenith village is a popular beach and a short drive. So is Broughton and Whitford Sands. Three Cliffs and Rhosilli are the beaches with the best scenery, Port Eynon and Oxwich are more touristy with pubs, chip shops etc. all are within about 15 minutes drive. Just drive across Cefn Bryn into South Gower | | | |

The Dolphin is fairly small and didn't do food last time I was there, but has a lovely beer garden.
The Britannia is an excellent pub, again with a cracking beer garden and it's own aviary. Think it does food too. |  |

The food there is pretty good. Cracking views from the beer garden too. More of a drive than a walk from Llanrhidian though | | | |

It's a fair drive to get to good beaches near Llanrhidian, Llangennith has already been mentioned but it's worth the drive on a nice day, you'll have to drive over Cefn Bryn to get to Oxwich and 3 Cliffs.
If you feel adventurous drive down to Rhosilli and walk the coastal path back and you'll come across some delightful small coves and beaches, plus, the scenery is some of he best you'll see anywhere. |  | | |

Britannia inn, Llanmadoc. You can walk to beaches from there past a community shop that has a cafe |  | | |

Mrs TNT and I did Rhosilli coastal walk today. Pub overlooking Rhosilli beach and Worm's Head does a decent meal. Sit inside or out and enjoy breathtaking views from a number of vantage points.
Don't make same mistake as a couple of people today, who ignored signs warning of tides, leaving them marooned on Worm's Head. Coastguard came to their rescue.
It was like something from Trumpton / Camberwick Green as we joined an ever increasing, mumbling, huddle of people watching events unfold. | |

I'm going to bet they were foreigners. Probably from the med, as tides are an unknown quantity to them |  |

There's enough warning signs up.
The weather wasn't inclement. All they had to do was wait for the tide to go back out. Coastguard should have left them there. | |

Unfortunately there aren't any beaches within walking distance from the campsite in Llanrhidian but there are some cracking beaches within a 15 minute or so drive.
Head down to LLangennith and you'll have the choice of two pretty tidy beaches. Rhossili Bay is obviously the world famous one which is great for surfers. Broughton Bay is a very nice and a lot quieter than Rhossili. It's just a short walk through the campsite and last time I was down there they had a shop selling cold beers and ice cream!
The best pub for food is probably the Britannia Inn and the best pub for beer is either the Kings Head or the Greyhound. The Gower brewery stuff is absolutely top notch. The Purple Badger bar on the the campsite you're staying at also does food and has Sky Sports. |  |

The trouble with that is the temptation to attempt to swim back.
And then you will drown.

Would Adam Peaty drown if he were to swim it?
There was a rescue in The Mumbles yesterday too as well as on The Gower. | |

The Greyhound does good pub grub. They have Gower Brewery stock there so try the Gower Gold if you like your real ales. |  |

Or the Gower Power. 5 pints of that can get you a bit silly. | |

Probably. I doubt he would be enough of an idiot to get himself stranded on worms head though, so he should be safe | | | |

The Greyhound Inn is the brewery behind the Gower Brewery ales, so they have a fantastic selection. You're also not far from Llangenith, which is a brilliant village with a lovely pub (the King's Head) and a short walk to the beach (although I'd probably advise driving it). | |

Yeah I was down in Verdis yesterday and I saw the life boat coming back, don't know what happened though.
Also a motorcyclist had a bump on Oystermouth road, all happening down there. |  |

Get a photo taken in your bondage trousers have a pint of best and post it on Anus's website, you can tell them you took the pub single handed, they will love you for that ðŸ‘😂
Have a great time, family time is the best. |  |
