About Swansea
- Dylan Thomas, the poet and writer who is the most celebrated literary figure in Welsh history, was born in Swansea in 1914 and spent his childhood and early adult life in the city. Thomas's poetry, which includes Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night and Fern Hill, is among the most musical and emotionally powerful in the English language, and his radio play Under Milk Wood — a portrait of a fictional Welsh seaside town that draws on his memories of Swansea and the surrounding area — is one of the most beloved works in the history of British broadcasting. The Dylan Thomas Centre in Swansea tells the story of his life and work, and the city celebrates his legacy through an annual festival and a trail of sites associated with his life.
- The Gower Peninsula, which extends westward from Swansea into the Bristol Channel, was the first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to be designated in Britain — a recognition of the extraordinary quality of its coastline, which includes Rhossili Bay, one of the finest beaches in Europe, and the dramatic limestone cliffs of the south coast. The peninsula's combination of beaches, dunes, cliffs, and moorland makes it one of the most diverse and beautiful landscapes in Wales, and it attracts millions of visitors every year. Rhossili Bay, which stretches for three miles below the Rhossili Down, is consistently rated as one of the best beaches in the world.
- Swansea Market, the largest indoor market in Wales, has been the commercial heart of the city since the Victorian period and is one of the most important food markets in Britain — a place where the traditional foods of South Wales, including laverbread, cockles, and Welsh cakes, are sold alongside a wide range of other produce. The market, which was rebuilt after being destroyed in the Blitz of 1941, is one of the most important social institutions in Swansea and reflects the city's strong sense of its own identity and traditions. The laverbread — a paste made from seaweed that is a traditional Welsh delicacy — is one of the most distinctive foods sold in the market and one of the most unusual in the British culinary tradition.
