Exploring our site and beyond

Location

One of the most beautiful festival sites in the UK? Probably.

We’re confident that our site is one of the cleanest festival locations you’ll ever visit. On top of that, not many UK music festivals can say they’re hosted on land that’s been officially designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Well we can. 

Nestled into a hillside overlooking the sea, in the grounds of a 14-century castle, our site on the Gower Peninsula is surrounded by the best beaches, bays, rolling hills, valleys, forests, fields and marshes that Wales has to offer.

So what exactly does a day at Love Trails Festival look like?

Spend a summer morning vaulting stiles as you wind your way through lush green fields and village lanes, under forest canopies and between wooded valleys on epic, single-track trails. 


In the afternoon, traverse golden, sandy beaches. Feel the fresh sea breeze in your hair as you climb rolling hills, bordered by secluded bays and dramatic cliffside views. Then take the plunge and dive into the refreshing coastal waters for a surf, sea kayak or paddleboard adventure.

If you’re more of an adrenaline junkie, you might want to consider scaling one of the dramatic cliffsides with a rock climbing crew. Of course, you could always throw yourself off one instead, either with a paragliding instructor or by diving into the waves with a group of fearless coasteerers.


Finish up by winding down in a wood-fired hot tub in the grounds of a 14th-century castle, watching the sun set over the estuary.


When the stars come up, join a crew on one of our exhilarating night runs, retreat into the warmth and welcome of our charming onsite pub, or get your glad rags on and spend a long summer night dancing under a bright moonlit canopy.

Blue Pool Bay

Blue Pool Bay is one of Gower's most charming bays. There are no roads or lanes leading to this beach and its location and very sheltered position at the base of U-shaped cliffs is such that only those who know about its existence, and are not afraid of a good walk, frequent the clean sands here.


Blue Pool Bay has been listed as one of "20 of Britain's best wild swimming spots" by The Telegraph.
