  • Help the Bay Stay This Way Swansea Is Officially Beautiful and We Are Tasked with Maintaining It
    Help the Bay Stay This Way Swansea is officially beautiful and we are tasked with maintaining it One of the biggest positives of coming to study at Swansea University is its proximity to the beach, whether that be on Swansea Bay or Gower. If you want to experience all that Swansea has to offer, then you need to get down to the beaches and explore the surrounding countryside. We want you to have the best time you can whilst exploring your new home, so here are our top tips for getting the most out of your trips and respecting and protecting the area for future generations. 1. The tide is high Whether you’re on Singleton Campus, Bay Campus or somewhere in between, Swansea Bay will be right on your doorstep. Swansea Bay runs just shy of 5 miles and consists of 5 beaches; from Aberavon Beach in Neath Port Talbot to the far reaches of Mumbles Beach, by the iconic lighthouse. The Bay features the 2nd highest tidal range in the world at 10.4m You can travel to all of the parts of Swansea Bay inside Swansea County using the Swansea UniBus City Tickets. 2. Down to the sloeblack, slow, black, crowblack, fishingboat-bobbing sea1 In 1956 Gower was designated the 1st ever Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the UK. The peninsula consists of 25 beaches of varying size and consistency. It is so good for anyone to get outdoors and be as active as possible; just ask these scientists. There are fewer spots in the UK better to do that than Gower.

  • Mumbles Headland & Foreshore Redevelopment: Design Strategy
    Mumbles Headland & Foreshore Redevelopment: Design Strategy Addendum October 2018 Mumbles Headland & Foreshore Redevelopment: Design Strategy Addendum Site Location Geographically, the site presents a headland and coastal strip at the southern point of Swansea Bay. The site has a backdrop of quarried rockface. It is located in close proximity to both the Blackpill and Bracelet Bay Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and the Mumbles Hill Local Nature Reserve. The site is partly located within a nationally recognised protected landscape, the Gower Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). It was designated for its landscape setting in 1956 and the Pier hotel was included as part of the designated area. Under the Countryside Act 1968 AONB’s were given the same landscape status as National Parks. Part of the site is located within zone C2, as defined by the development advice maps, referred to under TAN15 Development and Flood Risk (July 2004). Full consideration of the potential impact on biodiversity and other interests from the development proposals will be required. The site occupies a narrow strip of land with a level ribbon average width approximately 13m. It lies between the public car park at Knab Rock to the west and the beach at Mumbles Head. It is bounded on the landward (south) side by a rock face which rises steeply to approx 16m in height the sea wall bounds the northern edge although the site boundary extends 15 - 30m beyond this into tidal land. The site encloses around 420m2 of sand and shingle beach to the east and a part of the rock face of Mumbles Head.
