Bara Lawr
0 threads
0 posts
The name of this shop gets right to the point. It is a small eatery, that specializes in bara lawr, which is a popular Welsh dish. Also known as laverbread, it is a seaweed rather like a purée, that is commonly put on toast. This shop is tiny, with some indoor and outdoor seating to enjoy the delicacy. The outdoor seating overlooks Swansea Bay, which makes it a rather nice spot to stop for something to eat.

Bracelet Bay

Bracelet Bay is a small bay on the south of the Gower Peninsula, and is the first bay after leaving Mumbles. It is surrounded by limestone cliffs, and the bay is rather pebbly, but it does have some sand. It is a great place for a picnic, or a quiet day day on the beach, as it’s not as busy as some of the other beaches. It has good views of the Mumbles lighthouse. The water is rather choppy, but still safe for swimming. Sea canoeing is also a popular activity at this particular beach.

Caffi Pysgod

Seafood is something that Mumbles is known for, and as such there are many restaurants and cafés offering some of the local fare. Caffi Pysgod is one such restaurant. It was one of the nicest, and more expensive, restaurants in the village. The dim lighting and candles make it a romantic place for a date, and the covered patio is heated and open year round. The menu changes based on the time of the year, and what is freshest -- the chef also just likes to experiment with their recipes, so each experience at this restaurant is a new one.

Idris Alley

Named for a myth legend, this is the small wizarding alley located away from the bay in Mumbles. Nestled down an alleyway, magical folk will see a door where a Muggle will see nothing. It is a small alley, with shops having only the necessities. There's a couple of bars, a restaurant, and a few shops for what the wizards and witches in Mumbles need. For anything specific or unique, a trip to Diagon Alley would be likely, but Idris Alley has the basics!

Mumbles Pier

The pier has been open to the public since 1898, and is free to walk around and enjoy. It gives a great view of the bay, however it is in the middle of continued restoration work, given the age of the pier. There are several cafes located on the pier for those that want to get a bite to eat while taking a walk on the pier. It’s beautiful in the summer, but very busy — it is still a nice place to visit in the winter months, particularly for anyone trying to avoid the crowds during the summer months.

Welsh-Italian ice cream parlours are popular all over Wales, and there are several in Mumbles that compete at trying to be the best. Seren’s is popular in the village, a lot of which has to do with the location. It’s at the corner of the street, with outdoor seating wrapping around most of the building. It has a great view of the bay, and offers a variety of ice cream flavors for anyone trying to cool off on a hot day — or who just wants ice cream on a cold day, no judgments.

Mumbles is a vibrant seaside village in Wales, where a traveler would find over a hundred shops and restaurants hugging the side of Swansea Bay. It is home to great seafood, and plenty of local produce. There is also a local festival called the Mumbles Oyster Festival, and there are plenty of ice cream parlors to choose from. It’s a beautiful village that is worth a visit. There is a small magical population here, understandable given the size of the village.
