Whatever you do and wherever you do it, please ensure that the conditions are safe and that you have the right equipment. If new to the activity or inexperienced, use an accredited operator (where appropriate, all operators featured in this guide have achieved the relevant activity accreditation). If participating in an activity in the sea or near the shoreline, then keep an eye on the state of the tide, as it can turn very quickly here causing a tidal surge or rip tide; especially at Three Cliffs Bay, Burry Holms and the Worm’s Head causeway (the Rhossili Coastwatch Centre can help you plan your walk safely). If surfing at Llangennith watch out for shipwrecks below the waterline. It is recommended that you keep children in line of sight at all times and swim at a lifeguarded beach. If you do see someone in difficulty, do not attempt to enter the water yourself, telephone 999 and ask for the coastguard. And finally, don’t forget your suncream. Now go and have fun!

  • Riding on Beaches and Estuaries
    ADVICE ON Riding on Beaches and Estuaries 2 There are a number of beaches around England, Wales and Ireland that allow riding and BHS Approved centres that offer the opportunity to ride on a beach. There are many health benefits of riding on a sandy beach for horse and rider. Long sandy stretches are good for building up fitness levels and often the sand can encourage muscle tone and strength. It can provide outstanding views of the sea and is a refreshing way to see areas of beauty throughout the coasts of England, Wales and Ireland. Beach riding can be a wonderful experience for both you and your horse if you are aware of a few points of legality and safety, so please read all the guidance in this leaflet. Estuaries are where rivers meet the sea and they are unpredictable places, requiring caution and respect for the variety of conditions underfoot, the special ecology and the potential risks in riding there. While large expanses of open ground look inviting to riders, some of the conditions encountered may be dangerous. However, with due care and knowledge, estuaries can provide excellent riding opportunities. Is riding on the beach permitted? Check that riding on the beach is permitted. It may be limited to certain times, days or areas and there may be bylaws. Restrictions on time will often be to riders’ benefit, being at quieter periods such as early morning and late evening when there may be fewer other users to avoid. If there are areas where riding is not permitted, be sure you are clear about their extent and avoid them carefully; their boundaries may not be obvious even if they are above high water because signs and fences tend not to last long on the shore or may not be permitted.

  • Dynamics of Shell Disease in the Edible Crab Cancer Pagurus: a Comparative Study Between Two Sites on the Gower Peninsula, South Wales, UK
    DISEASES OF AQUATIC ORGANISMS Vol. 52: 151–157, 2002 Published November 22 Dis Aquat Org Dynamics of shell disease in the edible crab Cancer pagurus: a comparative study between two sites on the Gower Peninsula, South Wales, UK Claire L. Vogan, Andrew F. Rowley* School of Biological Sciences, University of Wales Swansea, Singleton Park, Swansea SA2 8PP, South Wales, United Kingdom ABSTRACT: Shell disease syndrome is a degradative condition of the crustacean exoskeleton which results in the formation of black-spot lesions. Field surveys on the edible crab Cancer pagurus (L.) population at 2 sites in the Gower Peninsula of South Wales, UK, namely Langland Bay and Rhossili causeway, revealed similarities in the prevalence of shell disease but differences in the severity. Male crabs from Langland Bay displayed significantly greater severities of the disease on the dorsal cara- pace and ventral surfaces than those in Rhossili. The greatest severities of the disease in Langland were attributable to sand abrasion injuries during back-burrowing behaviour and prolonged expo- sure to high numbers of chitinolytic bacteria. Lower severities of shell disease in males from Rhossili were a reflection of the inability to back-burrow due to the nature of the onshore sediment, and hence the crabs were only exposed to low levels of chitinolytic bacteria in the water column. On areas of the causeway that permitted back-burrowing, the chitinase enzyme activities in sediments were significantly lower than those in Langland Bay. It is concluded that the potential for crustacean shell degradation is higher at Langland than Rhossili, but whether the differences in chitinolytic abilities of the sediments at the 2 sites are a result of differences in pollution levels or simply of different sub- stratum types, remains to be determined.

  • Glamorganshire
    Glamorganshire The vice-county of Glamorganshire can be roughly split into three areas. Gower has acidic sandy soils with clay between heathland commons. South of the M4, the Vale of Glamorgan is generally low-lying with clay, impermeable brown earths and sandy free-draining soils all of which are slightly calcareous and good for growing crops. North of the M4 the land grades into mountains and the soils are wetter stagnogleys much more suited to pastoral farming. Small scale arable cultivation was a feature of the mixed farming in the area as shown by the 1930s land use survey which is considered a low point in arable cultivation. Growing crops will probably have increased during the World Wars in the 20th Century as there was a greater need to be more self-reliant, and the advent of herbicides and inorganic fertilisers in the mid 20th Century has led to an increase in crop production in some areas as weed control has improved. Arable land has been restricted to the better cereal growing soils of Gower and the south of the Vale of Glamorgan in both the 1930s and 1990s land use surveys. However, there has been a 20% contraction in arable land between these two time periods and a concentration of arable land into larger blocks in the latter land use survey. This could be caused by a number of reasons including the general change in farming businesses towards more livestock farming and pastoral land; the increase in herbicides and fertiliser costs which may lie beyond the means of small-scale farms; and the volatility of cereal prices may also have led to a decline in small-scale arable cropping with high yields only breaking even in some years, thus larger farms becoming more economical and the coagulation of cultivated land.
