Horton is a quietly enchanting village on the south coast of the Gower Peninsula, nestled halfway down a hillside that rolls gently towards the sea. It shares the beautiful curve of Port Eynon Bay, offering a peaceful retreat surrounded by some of the most breathtaking scenery in South Wales. This part of Gower is part of Britain’s first designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, renowned for its unspoiled coastline, golden beaches, and rich wildlife. The heart of Horton’s charm lies in its tranquillity and natural beauty. A short walk from the village takes you to Horton Beach, also known locally as The Cove—a wide, sandy bay that keeps its soft sand even at high tide. It’s ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, or a lazy afternoon in the sun. During the summer months, lifeguards are on duty, making it a safe and family-friendly beach. The bay is also a favourite with surfers, especially when the tides and winds align, producing smooth, consistent waves. Offshore you’ll see the buoys marking the resting place of the Prince Ivanhoe, a pleasure craft that famously ran aground in 1981, adding a touch of local maritime history to the view. For those who love walking, Horton is perfectly placed for exploring the Gower coast path. Heading east will take you toward the quiet and secluded sands of Slade and then on to Oxwich Bay, while walking west brings you to the lively seaside village of Port Eynon. Both routes offer breathtaking cliff-top views, wildflower meadows, and the occasional sighting of seabirds or even seals. The village retains a strong sense of its rural past, surrounded by rolling farmland, stone cottages, and quiet country lanes. The nearby Horton and Port Eynon RNLI Lifeboat Station is a proud local landmark, symbolising the area’s enduring connection to the sea.
