A couple looking for their dream home on the Gower for retirement secured a "handsome" property - but it wasn't exactly where they expected to be. From its sandy bays, beautiful woodlands, and historic castles, locals know well the outstanding beauty the Gower has to offer. In fact, it was the first area to be named an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the UK.
This week on Escape to the Country, Alistair Appleton headed there with the couple to help them move one step closer to their dream of a new life. Alistair was showing Leela and Peter from Epping, Essex, around the peninsula, 15 years after they’d been in the area together.
The keen golfers, who lived on a flight path in Essex near Stansted Airport, were eager to get away from the noise to the place where they had spent summers with their children, having picnics on the beach and playing in the sand. As Alistair showed the pair around during a sunny week in July last year, the area was looking its best, with Mumbles, Three Cliffs Bay, and Cefn Bryn all making an appearance in the episode.
