Geographical Indications: Gower Salt Marsh Lamb

SPECIFICATION COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1151/2012 on protected geographical indications and protected designations of origin “Gower Salt Marsh Lamb” EC No: PDO (X) PGI ( ) This summary sets out the main elements of the product specification for information purposes. 1 Responsible department in the Member State Defra SW Area 2nd Floor Seacole Building 2 Marsham Street London SW1P 4DF Tel: 02080261121 Email: [email protected] 2 Group Name: Gower Salt Marsh Lamb Group Address: Weobley Castle, Llanrhidian Gower SA3 1HB Tel.: 01792 390012 e-mail:[email protected] Composition: Producers/processors (6) Other (1) 3 Type of product Class 1.1 Fresh Meat (and offal) 4 Specification 4.1 Name: ‘Gower Salt Marsh Lamb’ 4.2 Description: ‘Gower Salt Marsh Lamb’ is prime lamb that is born reared and slaughtered on the Gower peninsular in South Wales. It is the unique vegetation and environment of the salt marshes on the north Gower coastline, where the lambs graze, which gives the meat its distinctive characteristics. ‘Gower Salt Marsh Lamb’ is a natural seasonal product available from June until the end of December. There is no restriction on which breeds (or x breeds) of sheep can be used to produce ‘Gower Salt Marsh Lamb’. However, the breeds which are the most suitable, are hardy, lighter more agile breeds which thrive well on the salt marsh vegetation. ‘Gower Salt Marsh Lamb’ is aged between 4 to 10 months at time of slaughter. All lambs must spend a minimum of 2 months in total, (and at least 50% of their life) grazing the salt marsh although some lambs will graze the salt marsh for up to 8 months.

COASTAL RAMBLE: LLANMADOC – LLANRHIDIAN An interesting walk hugging the coastline and Llanrhidian Salt Marshes The northern part of Gower is quite different from the dramatic cliff and beach scenery of the south – this is a gentle coastline dominated by the wide expanse of the Loughor Estuary, by mud flats and salt marshes. Notably, Llanrhidian Marsh is an internationally recognised wildlife and bird habitat. Passing scattered hamlets and old farms, and at Weobley Castle, this section of the coast path links three very characteristic north Gower villages. The Walk in detail The Coast Path does not come through Llanmadoc as it detours some kilometres to the north via Whiteford Point. For this walk, alight at the Britannia Inn (GR 439934) and walk up the hill towards the village for 50 metres, turning into a cul-de-sac leading to a farm track joining the Coast Path at Pill Cottage. Turn right here* and skirt Landimore Marsh to seaward and North Hill Tor to landward. *At high tide, the section across Llanmadoc Pill may become impassable. Retrace steps to Llanmadoc then via Cheriton/North Hills Farm to re-join path at GR 454938) The path follows a level course below the steep cliffs through the hamlet of Landimore (GR 465934). From here it turns inland for about 200 metres, then left through a wicket gate leading through several fields before becoming a grassy path below Hambury Wood, a local nature reserve notable for its birdlife. Fortunately, there is very good signposting along this section which is devoid of clear landmarks. Weobley Castle appears ahead in its commanding location and the Coast Path soon bisects a causeway leading from the road two kms out into Llanrhidian Marsh.
Brandy House Landimore | North Gower | Swansea | SA3 1HD Insight Brandy House

Brandy House Landimore | North Gower | Swansea | SA3 1HD Insight Brandy House Brandy House is magically situated on the waterside with the great salt marsh and waters edge to the front and woodland to the rear, providing astonishing panoramas across the great salt marsh and estuary. On a clear day you have vistas as far across the water to Burry Port. You also have the joy of observing wildlife such as birds, herons, ducks, and much more. Certainly, a bird watchers dream! Brandy House would be perfect for anyone who appreciates a peaceful countryside setting and those who enjoy an outdoor lifestyle thanks to the glorious Gower countryside, peacefulness and estuary panoramas. Brandy House itself is a wonderful four bedroom home with generous gardens and woodland which has been lovingly maintained and extended over the past 20 some years, creating a waterside Gower home which provides, serenity, stunning views and perfect countryside lifestyle. You meander through the gorgeous North Gower Hamlet of Landimore and approach the property as you arrive to the very farthest point and the last dwelling of the Hamlet. Brandy House itself exudes character and features which stem from a wealth of history. Brandy House started out life in around 1780 as a smugglers den, used (it is reported) to smuggle tobacco and silk. It was perfectly located next to the then busy, small port which shipped coal. Over the years, Brandy House has been extended/developed as a family home and currently would prove to be a fabulous family home or waterside second home private getaway. Set in this picture perfect hamlet, Brandy House is an absolute gem.
Hambury Wood Landimore, Gower, Swansea

20. Hambury Wood Landimore, Gower, Swansea Grid References O.S. Explorer map 164 Gower. Main entrance: SS469928, Site centre: SS472929 Status Tenure The reserve was purchased in June 1977 through an appeal, and re-named by the Trust as a memorial to Col. Jo Hambury, the Glamorgan Trust’s founding Chairman. The wood is still named “Castle Wood” on O.S. maps of 1:25000 and larger scale. Size 4.79 ha (11.8 acres). Location and Just west of Weobley Castle on the steep slope of the North Access Notes Gower limestone escarpment 1.2 km east of Landimore and 1.2 km west of Llanrhidian. Access can be obtained from the unclassified Oldwalls to Llanmadoc road by way of a stile to the east of a stone wall on the north side of the road. A short walk down the field boundary gives access to the wood through a wicket gate on the western end of the reserve. Car parking on the side of the road close to the reserve is very limited. Public Transport Bus numbers 115, 116, 119 (Sundays) from Swansea Quadrant Bus Station to Llandimore. Description: Ancient woodland on an ancient sea cliff. Hambury Wood is dominated by Oak and Ash with an understorey of neglected Hazel coppice, which has become overgrown. This and past grazing by sheep has resulted in a sparse field layer. The tree canopy is augmented by some fine Field Maple, the occasional Sycamore, and a certain amount of dead and dying English Elm. The shrub layer is predominantly Hazel coppice interspersed with Hawthorn, Elder (6-7), and Holly.
