Since first moving to Swansea for university nine years ago I’ve been down to the Gower countless times. I, like the majority of people living in Swansea, absolutely love it. There’s something so special and homely about trips to Gower – whether that’s for a stroll across the sands, a hearty cliff-top walk, or an evening dip in the sea.
For a year and a half I lived in Bishopston and enjoyed after-work and lunch-time walks to Brandy Cove, Caswell, and Langland. You can watch my New Years Day walk along Gower here while I’ve enjoyed a fair few pleasant walks along Rhossili and Three Cliffs over the years too. So when asked to get the number 118 bus from Swansea’s bus station to Rhossili – thought to be the city’s “most scenic” bus route – I was already excited. Fortunately I was not left disappointed.
The route, run by Adventure Travel, runs roughly every two hours from Stand T at Swansea Bus Station to the Rhossili terminus and journeys through Sketty, Killay, Parkmill, Penmaen, Reynoldston, Knelston, and Scurlage over the course of just under an hour. Once a day bus 118 also travels to the Port Eynon Terminus so if you fancy a trip there catch the 118 at 5.10pm and you'll arrive at Port Eynon at 6.13pm.
