    Imagine Tesco gets its hands on the Welsh cakes, cling film bags, with ribbon 🎗️ cross knots. This place is surprisingly different from everywhere else. I suppose it's the refreshing weather, and atmosphere of community cohesion, that gives it that special feeling. Its a must visit, place for sublime quite, walk. So spacious, and accommodating as well. I am coming round for some Welsh brand cakes. Lol

    Thank you for making a great video about my home town. You really captured its beauty! It makes a positive change, because people normally are very negative about it. Well done!!!

    Thank you for showing my home city in such a fantastic light. Although I've lived here all of my 56 years it made me a tiny bit emotional that you took the time to show it to others across the internet and to be honest you've done a brilliant job. Only downside as you know, one day isn't enough as there is more than the city centre and Singleton Park in Swansea. Only one problem, your pronunciation of Abertawe, it's Aber-t-ow (as in "that hurt") -ee. 😀

      Glad you enjoyed the video! It’s a great city for a day out but you’re right too much to do in a day. Thanks for helping with the terrible pronunciation 😬

    As a local some of the best views can be found on the grounds of the Cefn Coed Hospital. It's on top of the hill of cockett and you can see everything from the city centre to the mumbles.

    The little castles dotted around swansea are Wales Air Ambulance Charity “Castles in the Sky” free summer trail.
    If you kept going past Singleton park, you would find Singleton boating lake, after that is Blackpill lido and across the road is Clyne Gardens which is a beautiful walk, and then further along you will get to the mumbles. If you come back to swansea those places are a must. X

    Swansea has had budget cuts, pigeons are all they can afford , God love them.
    The Dragon tower , is definitely up my street, and it’s a Red 🟥 Dragon, at that ( my favorite color ).
    It’s nice to see you lads , out and about, with Lady Jane & Lady Sarah of London. Those sausage rolls were definitely, a meal by themselves.

    Our wonderful city of Swansea is outshone sadly by Cardiff, but we have a beach to die for and gower peninsula on our doorstep, our city centre is not the greatest but alcohol means Cardiff is the destination for many. Swansea is truly a lovely place to visit, we are called Swansea jacks!!! After a black Labrador who saved many lives,,, his name was jack. Glad you enjoyed our wonderful city

    • @JJExtra

    9:30 really ? I didnt know that I assumed most UK cities had beaches now that I think of it a lot of cities are not on the coastline maybe I took this beach for granted, I take my dog along the coastal path everyday for a walk, glad you guys enjoyed your time here highly recommend the three cliffs bay if you ever visit again , or Tenby in south west wales during the summer it has a mediterranean seaside town vibe colourful pastel houses with 2 golden sand beaches and torqoiuse water
