Whether you enjoy the quiet life or the great outdoors, have a young family, seek out night life or like to indulge in retail therapy, the Swansea Bay region has it all.Swansea is the second largest city in Wales with a mixture of major retailers, independent boutiques, bars and restaurants and a marina, not to mention the sweeping seafront and beach.Swansea has a vibrant cultural scene, with museums, theatre, music and art playing a prominent role in the city. One of the 20th century's most influential writers and poets, Dylan Thomas, came from Swansea and a permanent exhibition, Love the Words, which tells the story of his work and life, can be found at the Dylan Thomas Centre.
Swansea is surrounded by exceptionally beautiful countryside and coastline. The Gower Peninsula was the first place in the UK to be designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty more than 60 years ago. It has three National Nature Reserves and Sites of Special Scientific Interest.Three of the beaches have attained the European Blue Flag award for cleanliness: Caswell Bay, Langland Bay and Port Eynon, and Rhossili Bay, a three-mile stretch of gleaming white sand, has been named Europe’s third best beach, after Sicily’s Rabbit Beach and Playa de las Catedrales in Galicia, Spain. It's one of dozens of beaches suitable for everything from sandcastle building to surfing.
Living in Swansea is a pleasure: Glasgow University named it as one of the best places to live in the UK and in 2018, the seaside village of Mumbles topped The Sunday Times' list of the Best Places to Live. In October 2019, the average house sale price in Swansea was £179,617.
When working in Singleton, you are a stone’s throw from the beach and, after looking longingly out the window during the day, BBQ dinners on the beach followed by cocktails become a regular occurrence. In my experience, why would you want to train.work.live anywhere else?
