MAINTAINED TO A HIGH STANDARD

We spent six nights at this site from July 18th to 22nd. Access to the site is fairly easy, in that it is on the main (narrow) route through North Gower. There is room for two vehicles to pass but there are places where meeting another caravan would be a problem. The entrance is hidden and so an orange windsock flies over it. The hedge of the field next door, however, is high enough to make spotting the windsock difficult. There is a keycode for the gate, which gives a sense of security. Inside, the site is very well-maintained, with very large pitches which are numbered and separated with low fences planted with flowers and shrubs. There are views to the hills at one end of the site but otherwise the hedges mean that the views are limited. The owner was on site not long after we arrived and he gave us a good welcome. He lives in the house next door to the CL site and is assiduous about keeping everything clean and neat. With 16 amp electrics and generoous pitches, this site is good value for money and very pleasant. There are two shortcomings to this CL site. The first is that the road outside can be pretty busy in good weather and is not really safe to walk, so one needs to use the car. The second is that there are no mature trees and so there is no shade except any umbrellas and awnings that you take with you. We were there is very hot weather and I longed for the shade of a tree. There are one or two young trees there so perhaps this will be rectified with tiime, as they grow. The area is, of course, very beautiful and there are plenty of beaches to visit, as well as castles and the marshlands towards Gowerton. Swansea is a lovely city with parks and botanic gardens that are well worth a visit, as well as the busy seaside village of Mumbles and the Marina. The National Trust owns parts of the coastline and Rhosilli is particularly worth a visit.
