Kennexstone Camping and Touring Park

The entire northern coastline of Gower is dominated by the expanse of the Burry Estuary. Here can be found a variety of birdlife including: Oystercatcher, Curlew, Wigeon, Brent Geese, Pintail, Little Egret, Heron, Common Eider, Great Crested Grebe, Redshank, Black-tailed Godwit, Grey Plover, Ringed Plover and Dunlin.

Ponies, sheep and cattle graze the grasses which cover the inland areas of the marsh, and foxes have been seen meandering the maze of river channels which criss-cross the plain. Amongst the more open sediment areas of the marsh, various species of crab can be found. Further out along the marsh, large cockle beds are visited daily by local pickers. Several cockle-processing buildings can also be seen around the inland fringe of the Estuary near the village of Crofty.
