The pretty village of Oxwich, is situated at
the Western end of Oxwich
Bay.
For a small village with a population of less
than two hundred, it has alot to offer. It boasts a number of thatched
cottages, two castles and a National Nature Reserve with a wide
variety of bird and plant life and if that just isn't enough, then
there is always the bay with its glorious sand dunes, towering cliffs
and shady woods. |
| |
Much of the traffic that travels to the bay bypasses
Oxwich village itself, but the beautiful approach road travels down
through the woods and out into the salt marshes and the Reserve.
The Church
of St. Illtyd stands partially hidden on the approach to Oxwich
Point. The site has been recognised as a place of worship for the
past 1500 years. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Oxwich also has a close connection with the start of Methodism
in The Gower Peninsula, as John Wesley stayed in this lovely little
cottage when he came to Gower between 1762 and 1773. |
