The last stop along the prom is Mumbles, a picturesque Victorian seaside resort bustling with shops, cafes, and ice cream parlours.

Just off the prom, overlooking the village of Mumbles is Oystermouth Castle (1), a must-see 12th century castle steeped in local history and legend.  Whilst the grounds are open to explore all year round the castle itself is only open to the public at certain times. 

Make your way further along the prom towards the pier and you will come across one of Mumbles' most colourful parks, Southend Gardens (2) . The park has colourful bedding plants and plays host to a children's playground, crazy golf course, boules area and picnic tables. The Bay Rider also stops and starts from here.

If you have the energy and don't mind a short walk, follow the path up the hill where you will discover the delights of the Mumbles Hill Nature Reserve (3). As well as the diverse range of habitats and plant life, you will find some of the best views in Swansea.  The hill was also an important defensive position in World War II with remnants of the gun emplacements and control bunker still visible today.  (Access is available from Thistleboon Road, George Bank and Bracelet Bay car park).

Heading towards the pier don't forget to pop into the Mumbles Lifeboat Museum (4) which contains historical records of the Mumbles lifeboat and actual equipment used by past crews.  This small museum is dedicated to the memory of the heroic and sometimes tragic events in the history of the Mumbles Lifeboat.  The museum is open when the station is open.

As you approach the end of the prom you will come across Mumbles Pier (5). Take a stroll along the famous pier and enjoy an ice cream whilst taking in the stunning panoramic views of the bay. The traditional amusement arcade is also a must.
