Southgate club is a restaurant and bar but they are separate so if you want to go as a family and enjoy a great meal then you can. If however, you want to go out for a drink then the bar is very friendly and welcoming. Great food and you can eat outside if the weather is good.

Parks & Nature
A great day out when the weather is good Rhossili beach and worms head. The area is owned by the National Trust and very picturesque. For the more adventurous you can walk to the end of Worms Head at low tide. But beware the tide comes in very quickly and there are signs telling you how long you have!
The Beach is fabulous (although a steep climb back up) . Or you could stay on the cliff top and enjoy a delicious cream tea.
