The Gower peninsula, Britain's first designated area of outstanding
natural beauty, extends 20km westwards from the city of Swansea.
The peninsula is an ageless delight, with its attractive landscape of cosy villages,
farms, castle ruins and common land, bounded by 40km of awesome coastline and
world renowned beaches.
Situated on the western edge of the peninsular, you will find the most breathtaking
of all Gower's beaches, Rhossili Bay. From Worms Head in the south, to the tidal
islet of Burry Holme to the north, the three mile sweep of golden sands is a
constant reminder of the splendour of Gower.
It is here, at the foot of Rhossili Down, 200m from the beach, embraced by farm
and moor land and an extensive sand dune system, that you will find Hillend.
But don't just take our word for it;
"Gower is one of the most naturally beautiful areas of Britain, and this
site is situated on the edge of its most dramatic stretch of coastline. Huge
dunes flank a vast expanse of sand that stretches for several miles. Despite
the fact that it feels like you're in the largest open space in the world, there's
a cosy and friendly spirit to the site." (The Guardian - 2007)
