Designated as the first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the UK, Gower's breathtaking coastlines are one of the only places in Europe that were not covered by ice during the last Ice Age. This unique landscape boasts award winning beaches, sweeping vistas, ancient castles, bronze age burial chambers, and 33,000 year old skeletons.
Gower offers a profound connection to ancient times and invites visitors to trace the paths of prehistoric hunter-gatherers who once pursued Woolly Mammoths across its rolling grasslands and sought shelter in its numerous caves.

Born on the Gower Peninsula, Clive Gilchrist aka "Gilky" became a enthusiastic student of it's heritage and stunning scenery. He was a natural storyteller, and those lucky enough to accompany him on a daytrip would always be fascinated by his local knowledge and appreciation of Gower's history and natural beauty. His dying wish was to have his ashes scattered overlooking Three Cliffs. Gilky Tours bares his name as a fitting tribute to his lifelong love of the Gower which he often described as "God's little Acre"

This ancient Celtic symbol is deeply rooted in Neolithic history, with a lineage that extends back around 6,000 years and would be a familiar and symbolic icon to the early hunter-gatherers who once inhabited the Gower Peninsula. This ancient emoji meant something to them. It is revered as a sacred emblem embodying the cycle of life, death, and rebirth, and it can be found all over Europe where prehistoric structures exist.
Our ancestors left behind a treasure trove of physical evidence in the form of burial chambers and dolmens that are scattered all across this rugged peninsula.
