Historic Sites & Castles

This collection explores the layered history of the Gower Peninsula and Swansea, spanning from the Neolithic era to the maritime 19th century. It features medieval fortifications like the 12th-century Oystermouth Castle and the sand-engulfed ruins of Pennard Castle. Ancient heritage is represented by the 5,000-year-old Arthur’s Stone and the Parc le Breos burial chamber. On the coast, the skeletal remains of the Helvetia shipwreck at Rhossili offer a glimpse into the region's seafaring past, while urban ruins mark Swansea’s Norman foundations.
