What to know
attractions in Mumbles
Mumbles (Y Mwmbwls) is Swansea’s pier and oyster village — seafront tables, same City and County of Swansea taxi table as the centre.
Things to do and walking
Oystermouth Castle on the hill above the village is free to explore externally and has paid admission for interior tours — panoramic views of the bay from the walls. Mumbles Pier dates from 1898 and houses an amusement arcade, a lifeboat station and a small RNLI museum. The Gower Coast Path from the promenade through Bracelet Bay, Limeslade and down to Langland Bay is one of the finest short coastal walks in Wales — mostly level walking with dramatic limestone headlands. For art, the Lovespoon Gallery and the Gower Gallery on Newton Road are independent and worth a browse on a wet afternoon.
