The more I have come to know Gower the more I want to know. I feel that I would like to begin again: to study the birds of Gower, to follow up the family histories, to clear up a few historical mysteries surrounding the Norman castles and to lie on the cliffs and beaches of the peninsula, to learn, too, more of the early ironworkers and copper smelters of the Swansea Valley.
