Gower Heritage Centre

The Gower Heritage Centre is located in Parkmill, South Wales. It is set in the heart of the Gower Peninsula west of Swansea. It was established in 1990 as a countryside crafts centre situated in historical and beautiful surroundings. For children, there is a soft play area, a sandpit and some mini tractors.
