The quiet north Gower coast with its extensive saltmarsh and dunes
In line with Welsh Government legislation and the ‘fire break’ lockdown, all our places in Wales will be temporarily closed from 24 October to 9 November to restrict the spread of coronavirus. We urge people to follow government legislation, stay at home and not to travel. We look forward to welcoming you back when we’re able to.
North Gower is a tranquil place, for quiet enjoyment, bird watching and walking. Much of the north coast is a large expanse of saltmarsh, which is an ever-changing landscape of mudflats and tidal ditches. Along with Whiteford Burrows, it is an internationally important feeding ground for wading birds and wildfowl.
The Bulwark is an Iron Age hill fort, found at the top of Llanmadoc Hill. From here there are impressive views across Gower and to the sea beyond. Ryers Down is an open heathland that can be seen from Llanmadoc Hill. It is home to some rare and unusual animals, insects and plants such as the Three-lobed Crowfoot.
Most of our places run the Gift Aid on Entry scheme at their admission points.
Under this scheme, if you're not a member you have the choice of two entry tickets:
If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you a clear choice between the Gift Aid Admission prices and the Standard Admission prices at the admission point. It's entirely up to you which ticket you choose.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid - an extra 25 per cent - potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below:
| Gift Aid | Standard | |
|---|---|---|
| Amount paid by visitor | £11.00 | £10.00 |
| Tax refund from Government* | £2.75 | £0.00 |
| Total received by the National Trust | £13.75 | £10.00 |
