We are delighted here at Bayview, that fabulous chef, Hywel Griffith, of the acclaimed Michelin Star Beach House Restaurant right here on the beach front at Oxwich, made it through to the final of #GreatBritishMenu 2021. We were cheering him on every step of the way through this iconic BBC television show.

Our visitors to Bayview often ask us what we can recommend to enhance their holiday experience in Gower. They are especially interested in the authentic experiences Gower can offer: whether it’s a steer to some of the best restaurants for a true taste of Gower’s food and drink, or walks that introduce them to Gower’s less trodden and hidden paths.

Our guests here at Bayview, Oxwich are often asking us to point them in the direction of Gower’s hidden face – the wealth of history and culture that exists in the peninsula alongside the miles of sandy beaches and dramatic limestone cliffs that it is famed for. They tell us this makes for a more enriching holiday and that it is so satisfying to be privy to special information and Gower’s secrets.

Television viewers in Wales will be familiar with Derek Brockway – Derek the Weather – for his daily appearances on BBC Wales outlining what’s in store for us with the weather. Television viewers outside Wales might know him for his popular BBC television series Weatherman Walking, in which he introduces his audience to perhaps lesser known, and most definitely, hidden gems of walks across the length and breadth of Wales.
