Greenways of Gower

North Gower Butterfly Walk, Gower

Meanders through wildflower meadows and limestone grassland on gentle, mostly flat terrain—perfect for families with young children and manageable with all-terrain buggies on drier days. Dogs welcome on leads to protect the butterflies and ground-nesting birds. Summer months bring vivid displays of marbled whites, common blues and small heaths against stunning Gower coastal views. A short, easy loop that rewards minimal effort with maximum wildlife and scenery, ideal for budding naturalists.

Southgate, Hunts Bay and Pwll Du walk, Gower

Follows dramatic clifftop paths and secluded beaches on the Gower's stunning southern coast. Terrain is mostly moderate with some steep sections down to Pwll Du bay and back up – not suitable for buggies or very young children. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. The payoff is spectacular coastal scenery, hidden coves, and the atmospheric ruins of old lime kilns at Pwll Du, making this a memorable National Trust route for confident walkers.

Bishopston Valley Walk, Gower

Meanders through a wooded limestone valley with gentle gradients, though some uneven paths and tree roots make it tricky for buggies. Families with steady walkers will love spotting wildlife in the ancient woodland and exploring the valley's hidden gorge sections. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. The mix of dappled forest, open meadows and dramatic rock formations makes this a classic Gower outing, especially atmospheric after rain when the stream runs full.
