Did you know that the only surviving cast-iron lighthouse on the island of Great Britain is native to Cymru? Welcome to Whiteford Lighthouse!
Now a Cadw Grade II listed building and Scheduled Ancient Monument, Whiteford Lighthouse is a short walk from the village of Llanmadoc, upon Whiteford Point near Whiteford Sands, on Gŵyr (the “Gower Peninsula”), De Cymru.
Walking from Llanmadoc will take you through the Cwm Ivy Nature Reserve – home to kingfishers, otters and many more wonderful animals native to our beautiful country.
