Reynoldston is a village at the heart of the Gower Peninsula, gathered around a green beneath the open common of Cefn Bryn. Its central position — ten minutes from the north or south coast — and its landmark inn make it a natural base for exploring the whole AONB.
Staying near Reynoldston
The best-placed base if you want to roam all of Gower rather than one beach, with commons walking from the door and both coasts a short drive away.
What's here
Cefn Bryn, the "backbone of Gower", and the Neolithic burial chamber of Arthur's Stone on its ridge; and easy drives to Rhossili, Oxwich and Three Cliffs bays.
When to visit
Year-round; the common is at its best in late summer heather and autumn light.

Common questions
Is Reynoldston a good central base for Gower?
Yes. Reynoldston sits in the middle of the peninsula on the slopes of Cefn Bryn, so the beaches of both the north and south coasts are within about ten minutes' drive. That central position, plus open common walking from the village, makes it a practical all-round base.
What is Arthur's Stone on Gower?
Arthur's Stone (Maen Ceti) is a Neolithic burial chamber on Cefn Bryn above Reynoldston, its huge capstone propped on smaller uprights. Wrapped in Arthurian legend, it is a short walk up onto the common and offers wide views across Gower.
