Kennexstone Camping and Touring Park

Gower's commons occupy a large percentage of the peninsula's land surface. Their open expanses are often criss-crossed with well sign-posted public footpaths, allowing visitors access to some truly diverse wildlife. Bracken (Pteridium aquilinium) often dominates the scene, along with indigenous species of heather. Reaching its northern Europe limit, Bristle-bent Agrostis curtisii can also be found on Gower commons as can the rare soft-leaved sedge.

The Marsh Fritillary butterfly is one of the more beautiful insects along these landscapes whilst Peregrine Falcon, Merlin, Sparrowhawk, Kestrel and Buzzard frequent the skies here in search of rabbit, stoat and mice. Evening visits may reward the visitor with rarer glimpses of Barn Owl and Short-eared Owl.

The largest commons on Gower are Fairwood Common and Cefn Bryn with the latter being the more popular as it also holds both Broad Pool and the ancient historic monument, Arthur's Stone.
