The Glamorgan coast and Gower Peninsula host a food scene shaped by salt marsh, sea, and some of the most innovative producers in South Wales.
Gower Salt Marsh Lamb holds PGI protection. The lambs graze the Llanrhidian salt marshes on the Gower Peninsula, eating wild grasses, samphire, and sea lavender that give the meat its unique flavour. The Gower was designated the first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the UK in 1956.
The brewery and distillery scene is growing. Gower Brewery produces ales inspired by the peninsula. Tomos a Lilford and Vale of Glamorgan Brewery craft ales in the Vale. Cygnet Gin embodies Swansea history. Hensol Castle Distillery in the Vale produces spirits with a visitor centre. The Welsh Honey Co continues a family beekeeping tradition stretching back to 1969.
