NATIONAL WATERFRONT MUSEUM REVIEWS
Such an interesting place, well worth a visit - great exhibitions, a large number of interactive exhibits on a variety of topics, archive footage of swansea and other places. Fascinating models, full size exhibits and works of art. A community garden... Interesting on so many levels and it's free to enter! Poor signage to find it on foot from the park and ride bus stop but that's not the museum's fault. ( we had an interesting walk round the marina when the museum was actually quite close to the bus stop!)
We attended a wedding and reception dinner held in the museum. Really lovely event in great rooms. Very well done. Today we were there for a dance recital event. Many dance companies in attendance. Fabulous!
Great museum which is definitely worth a visit. I thought it would be maritime but it was about industry and the community very informative. Nice shop friendly welcoming staff nice Caffe.

Stretching across 835 feet, this imposing structure has been a prominent fixture in the landscape of Swansea Bay for over a century. It is one of only six surviving iron piers in Wales and currently holds a Grade II listing. The pier is freely accessible to the public for leisurely walks and enjoyment.

With its assortment of cafes, shops, and amusements, it's an ideal spot for a family day out or a romantic evening.

Always lovely to spend some time around the pier and the surrounding beaches, especially in the summer when the weather is fantastic. Cafe has a great range of hot and cold food / drink that never takes too long to arrive, personally I love their vegetarian / vegan options. Plenty of seating outside to enjoy the beautiful views of Swansea bay!
Beautiful location at the end of the coastal path - perfect for the day out. There are plenty of places to eat and drink nearby, parking facilities and it’s easy to access on foot or by bicycle. Great, it any weather but perfect for a sunny day.

CLYNE GARDENS REVIEWS
A beautiful garden. Dog friendly if they are on a lead. The layout is dense with some beautiful plants and features to see. There is a good toilet right near the entrance with a small cafe in a cool caravan there too. There are benches to sit on along the root round the garden if you need a break as the hill can get steep. When coming back down from the top make sure you walk off the main path on the map and go to the far left corner of the map so that you don't miss the Japanese bridge and the beginning of the walk along side the stream. As you walk that route we found it better to be on the path to the left, the lower path, as that runs along the stream. Our kid loved walking through the shallow stream with her wellies on. When down that way, try and spot the tree with a branch like the foot of a horse.
Very nice gardens with lot of different plants and lot of small bridges over little creeks. And the gardens are very popular with locals walking their dogs so you can meet a lot of new friends. Easily accessible and easy to navigate with clear paths.
Beautiful gardens. Spent several hours wandering through. So much to see. A definite must if you visit Swansea or The Mumbles.
