The Egypt Centre

The Egypt Centre is a museum of Egyptian antiquities. It is part of business services, University of Wales Swansea. The Egypt Centre consists of part of the collection of the pharmacist Sir Henry Wellcome from the turn of the century. It has been in the keeping of University of Wales, Swansea since the early 1970s. Thanks to the hard work of Dr Kate Bosse-Griffiths the collection opened as a museum. For information on Egyptology in Swansea University prior to the setting of of the Egypt Centre see Griffiths, G. 2000, Museum efforts before Wellcome.

The idea for a new museum for the Wellcome Collection – to make it more accessible to the public as well as scholars – was developed by Sybil Crouch, Manager of Taliesin Arts Centre. Ms Crouch prepared applications for external funding and £700,000 was raised from Heritage Lottery Fund and the European Regional Development Fund. The design and fit out of the museum was developed by a working group chaired by Professor Alan Lloyd of the Department of Classics and Ancient History. The Egypt Centre opened to the public in September 1998.

Advance bookings are not required. Entry is free of charge unless booking a group.

Euphoria Sailing

Euphoria Sailing uses stylish yachts and motor cruisers to create an unforgettable experience on the water whilst taking in the breathtaking scenery of the Gower coastline. You can hire any of their boats for the day and make it your own. ‘Euphoria’ is a 43ft Legend Yacht that can host up to 6 people for the day and, complete with bathing platform, is ideal for anchoring up and having a swim. The top- of-the-range motor cruisers are sensational – ‘Passage West’, a 58ft Fairline Squadron, is palatial in size and can host 10 guests, whilst the 42ft ‘Princess’ is more racy, but can still accommodate 10.

Gower Coast Activities

A family run business established in summer 2003, our aim is to provide a breathtaking, interactive tour of the South Gower Coast, leaving our passengers with unforgettable memories.

Guided by professional qualified crew with excellent local knowledge, you will encounter a wealth of marine wildlife, fascinating local history (from prehistoric bone caves to tales of smugglers) and a unique thrill as we skim across the open water.

With Gower being the UK’s first designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the coast affords many chances to stop and take it all in. Whether to talk, take photos, watch birds and seals at play in their natural habitat or just to pause and admire the scenery that inspired Dylan Thomas in some of his most renowned poems.

Trips are subject to weather conditions. Prices for 2010 may vary from those currently shown on the Gower Coast Adventures website.
