Oxwich National Nature Reserve Swansea, Swansea County Occupying most of the attractive Oxwich Bay in south Gower, this reserve has one of the richest varieties of coastal habitat in Britain. The foreshore, dunes, marshes and woodlands hold many species, particularly flowers, birds and insects. Over six hundred kinds of flowering plants alone have been found! A range of interesting management sustains the wildlife, including mowing, cutting, grazing and dredging. The reserve is easy to explore and is particularly suitable for field studies. The Countryside Council for Wales is committed to creating opportunities for everyone to enjoy the countryside. National Nature Reserves are no exception. On some reserves the Countryside Council for Wales has provided additional paths. On others, access on foot is unrestricted and visitors are welcome to wander freely. Where possible, the Countryside Council also provide facilities to add to visitors' enjoyment of reserves such as bird hides, information points, guided walks and displays, and facilities for the disabled. Signs at entrances welcome visitirs to each reserve and provide basic information.       Reset Map Position About our location: South-west of Swansea on the A4118 turn left by the signpost for ‘Oxwich Bay’ Safety: The Countryside Council for Wales makes every attempt to ensure that your visit to a reserve is enjoyable and safe.
