From fabulous parks to leisure fun on the sweep of the Bay, Swansea is truly blessed when it comes to outdoor space. Awards for parks and awards for beaches, we’re all trophied out, but come along and find out for yourself how green the grass is and how the sand feels under your feet. If you’re here in May, a visit to Clyne Gardens is a must. A haven of colour as the azaleas and rhododendrons come to full bloom. Here in August?
