Three Cliffs Bay – A hint of summer

There is no better place to find yourself on a gorgeous Spring/Summer evening than wondering the cliffs of Gower. Three Cliffs Bay is no exception. Today I grabbed the opportunity to get out with my camera whilst walking Lucy (my beagle) around the cliffs. There were quite a few walkers and golfers along the cliff [...]

Pennard Cliffs – Lit by moonlight

On arriving home from a day out I could see the potentially amazing sunset about to take place.  As soon as we pulled up to the house I ran to grab my camera and tripod.  I drove to the closest possible area that would allow me to catch the rapidly setting sun.  Unfortunately, as predicted, [...]

Wow! Oxwich…

Dan had kindly invited me along to another sunset.  This time he was planning on shooting from Penmaen overlooking Oxwich.  Oxwich is a particularly awkward beach for a landscape photographer and with my sister’s wedding approaching soon (at the Oxwich Bay Hotel) I was very keen to give it a go.  Along the way we [...]

A different view: Three Cliffs Bay

Three Cliffs Bay and nearby Pobbles beach are unquestionably my favourite places in the world.  I make every effort to stop here whenever I can.  There are so many varying walks surrounding these areas and so many viewpoints.  It is such a peaceful area and, in my view, gorgeous no matter what time of year [...]

Brandy Cove

Monday evening was beautifully quiet along the south of Gower’s coastal path. Sam, Lucy and I walked from Pwll Du to Brandy Cove. It was a stunning evening and I was surprised at how much wildlife we encountered. The wild primroses were vast, the blossoms were in full bloom and we even saw a massive [...]

Mewslade

Yesterday I had the pleasure of walking down to Mewslade having been kindly invited by Dan Santillo.  The tide was higher than expected but that didn’t cause me too much concern as I’d been wanting to take a shot off the top of the cliff for a while.  High tide was a perfect opportunity.   [...]

Pwll Du (Revisited)

Pwll Du Pwll Du is yet another hidden treasure located within the Gower peninsula.  As long as you are able and don’t mind a steep walk, Pwll Du is definitely a place I recommend you visit.  My usual route is from the village of Bishopston, walking down Pwll Du Lane using the wide track as [...]

Three Cliffs Bay and Pobbles Bay

The most frequent beaches visited by myself have to be Three Cliffs Bay and Pobbles.  They are my most favourite haunts and probably will be for the rest of my life.   Pobbles is where I used to spend most of my summer outside of school hours and I was always accompanied by lots of [...]

4th July 2011: Three Cliffs Bay, Gower

On 4th July 2011 I travelled down the road to Southgate where I met a few other people.  From the meeting point we walked over towards Three Cliffs Bay, some perhaps going a little too close to the cliff edge. The light was unmistakably outstanding and the very talented photographer, Neil Collier, who was leading [...]
