The Gower Peninsular lies to the west of Swansea, jutting out into the Bristol Channel.

As Britain’s very first ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’, its southern coastline is a well-known tourist area, renowned for its sandy beaches and beautiful rocky coves. Not so well known are its northern shores, which consist of a large salt marsh covering about 4000 acres of land within the Burry Estuary.

The sheep graze on this tidal marsh and gain their main nourishment from this unique pasture, which consists of saltmarsh grasses, samphire, sorrel, sea lavender and thrift. 

Weobley Castle is a fortified manor house on the Gower peninsula, Wales, UK in the care of Cadw.

It is near the village of Leason overlooking Llanrhidian Marsh where our sheep graze. The castle dates from the 13th Century. It was attacked and damaged by the forces of Owain Glyndŵr in 1403.
